arm64: hw_breakpoint: use target state to determine ABI behaviour
The arm64 hw_breakpoint interface is slightly less flexible than its 32-bit counterpart, thanks to some changes in the architecture rendering unaligned watchpoint addresses obselete for AArch64. However, in a multi-arch environment (i.e. debugging a 32-bit target with a 64-bit GDB under a 64-bit kernel), we need to provide a feature compatible interface to GDB in order for debugging to function correctly. This patch adds a new helper, is_compat_bp, to our hw_breakpoint implementation which changes the interface behaviour based on the architecture of the debug target as opposed to the debugger itself. This allows debugged to function as expected for multi-arch configurations without relying on deprecated architectural behaviours when debugging native applications.
