K.Prasad e0e53db613 x86/hw-breakpoints: Optimize return code from notifier chain in hw_breakpoint_handler
Processing of debug exceptions in do_debug() can stop if it
originated from a hw-breakpoint exception by returning NOTIFY_STOP
in most cases.

But for certain cases such as:

a) user-space breakpoints with pending SIGTRAP signal delivery (as
in the case of ptrace induced breakpoints).

b) exceptions due to other causes than breakpoints

We will continue to process the exception by returning NOTIFY_DONE.
