ptrace/x86: revert "hw_breakpoints: Fix racy access to ptrace breakpoints"
This reverts commit 87dc669ba257 ("hw_breakpoints: Fix racy access to ptrace breakpoints"). The patch was fine but we can no longer race with SIGKILL after commit 9899d11f6544 ("ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL"), the __TASK_TRACED tracee can't be woken up and ->ptrace_bps[] can't go away. The patch only removes ptrace_get_breakpoints/ptrace_put_breakpoints and does a couple of "while at it" cleanups, it doesn't remove other changes from the reverted commit.
