[PATCH 4/5] perf/hw_breakpoint: Enable breakpoint in modify_user_hw_breakpoint

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Mon Aug 27 2018 - 05:12:43 EST


Currently we enable the breakpoint back only if the breakpoint
modification was successful. If it fails we can leave the
breakpoint in disabled state with attr->disabled == 0.

We can safely enable the breakpoint back for both the fail
and success paths by checking the bp->attr.disabled, which
either holds the new 'requested' disabled state or the
original breakpoint state.
