hw-breakpoints: Keep track of user disabled breakpoints
When we disable a breakpoint through dr7, we unregister it right
away, making us lose track of its corresponding address
register value.
It means that the following sequence would be unsupported:
- set address in dr0
- enable it through dr7
- disable it through dr7
- enable it through dr7
because we lost the address register value when we disabled the
breakpoint.
Don't unregister the disabled breakpoints but rather disable
them.
