perf/x86/hw_breakpoints: Disallow kernel breakpoints unless kprobe-safe
Code on the kprobe blacklist doesn't want unexpected int3 exceptions. It probably doesn't want unexpected debug exceptions either. Be safe: disallow breakpoints in nokprobes code. On non-CONFIG_KPROBES kernels, there is no kprobe blacklist. In that case, disallow kernel breakpoints entirely. It will be particularly important to keep hw breakpoints out of the entry and NMI code once we move debug exceptions off the IST stack.
