ptrace: PTRACE_DETACH should do flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint(child)

Change ptrace_detach() to call flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint(child).  This
frees the slots for non-ptrace PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT users, and this
ensures that the tracee won't be killed by SIGTRAP triggered by the
active breakpoints.

Test-case:

unsigned long encode_dr7(int drnum, int enable, unsigned int type, unsigned int len)
{
unsigned long dr7;

dr7 = ((len | type) & 0xf)
<< (DR_CONTROL_SHIFT + drnum * DR_CONTROL_SIZE);
if (enable)
dr7 |= (DR_GLOBAL_ENABLE << (drnum * DR_ENABLE_SIZE));

return dr7;
}

int write_dr(int pid, int dr, unsigned long val)
{
return ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, pid,
offsetof (struct user, u_debugreg[dr]),
val);
}

void func(void)
{
}

int main(void)
{
int pid, stat;
unsigned long dr7;

pid = fork();
if (!pid) {
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
kill(getpid(), SIGHUP);

func();
return 0x13;
}

assert(pid == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0));
assert(WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGHUP);

assert(write_dr(pid, 0, (long)func) == 0);
dr7 = encode_dr7(0, 1, DR_RW_EXECUTE, DR_LEN_1);
assert(write_dr(pid, 7, dr7) == 0);

assert(ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, pid, 0,0) == 0);
assert(pid == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0));
assert(stat == 0x1300);

return 0;
}

Before this patch the child is killed after PTRACE_DETACH.
