DAR is set to the first byte of overlap between actual access and

might or might not be within user asked range. So for Book3S, it
must not call dar_within_range().

This revert portion of commit 39413ae00967 ("powerpc/hw_breakpoints:
Rewrite 8xx breakpoints to allow any address range size.").

Before patch:
ÂÂ # ./tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/ptrace/perf-hwbreak
ÂÂ ...
ÂÂ TESTED: No overlap
ÂÂ FAILED: Partial overlap: 0 != 2
ÂÂ TESTED: Partial overlap
ÂÂ TESTED: No overlap
ÂÂ FAILED: Full overlap: 0 != 2
ÂÂ failure: perf_hwbreak

After patch:
ÂÂ TESTED: No overlap
ÂÂ TESTED: Partial overlap
ÂÂ TESTED: Partial overlap
ÂÂ TESTED: No overlap
ÂÂ TESTED: Full overlap
ÂÂ success: perf_hwbreak

Fixes: 39413ae00967 ("powerpc/hw_breakpoints: Rewrite 8xx breakpoints to allow any address range size.")

Oh, this seems to have been introduced by 27985b2a640e ("powerpc/watchpoint: Don't ignore extraneous exceptions blindly").

I must have lost it through a rebase as we were doing our series approximately at the same time, sorry for that.
