[PATCH 1/2] ptrace/x86: flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint() shoule clearthe virtual debug registers

[Oleg Nesterov]

flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint() destroys the counters set by ptrace, but
"leaks" ->debugreg6 and ->ptrace_dr7.

The problem is minor, but still it doesn't look right and flush_thread()
did this until 66cb5917. Now that PTRACE_DETACH does flush_ too this makes
even more sense.
