ARM: 6657/1: hw_breakpoint: fix ptrace breakpoint advertising on unsupported arch
The ptrace debug information register was advertising breakpoint and watchpoint resources for unsupported debug architectures. This meant that setting breakpoints on these architectures would appear to succeed, although they would never fire in reality. This patch fixes the breakpoint slot probing so that it returns 0 when running on an unsupported debug architecture.
