[patch V4 part 4 15/24] x86/db: Split out dr6/7 handling

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue May 05 2020 - 10:16:30 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

DR6/7 should be handled before nmi_enter() is invoked and restore after
nmi_exit() to minimize the exposure.

Split it out into helper inlines and bring it into the correct order.
