[RFC PATCH 2/5] x86/hw_breakpoint: Prevent data breakpoints on direct GDT

[Lai Jiangshan]

A data breakpoint on the GDT is terrifying and should be avoided.
The GDT on CPU entry area is already protected. The direct GDT
should be also protected, although it is seldom used and only
used for short time.
