ptrace/x86: introduce ptrace_register_breakpoint()

No functional changes, preparation.

Extract the "register breakpoint" code from ptrace_get_debugreg() into
the new/generic helper, ptrace_register_breakpoint().  It will have more
users.

The patch also adds another simple helper, ptrace_fill_bp_fields(), to
factor out the arch_bp_generic_fields() logic in register/modify.
