[PATCH] arm64: hw_breakpoint: don't clear debug registers in halt mode

[Tingwei Zhang]

If external debugger sets a breakpoint for one Kernel function
when device is in bootloader mode and loads Kernel, this breakpoint
will be wiped out in hw_breakpoint_reset(). To fix this, check
MDSCR_EL1.HDE in hw_breakpoint_reset(). When MDSCR_EL1.HDE is
0b1, halting debug is enabled. Don't reset debug registers in this case.
