[PATCH 1/2] ptrace/x86: simplify the "disable" logic inptrace_write_dr7()

[Oleg Nesterov]

ptrace_write_dr7() looks unnecessarily overcomplicated. We can
factor out ptrace_modify_breakpoint() and do not do "continue"
twice, just we need to pass the proper "disabled" argument to
ptrace_modify_breakpoint().
