powerpc/xmon: Fix data-breakpoint
commit c21a493a2b44650707d06741601894329486f2ad upstream. Currently xmon data-breakpoint feature is broken. Whenever there is a watchpoint match occurs, hw_breakpoint_handler will be called by do_break via notifier chains mechanism. If watchpoint is registered by xmon, hw_breakpoint_handler won't find any associated perf_event and returns immediately with NOTIFY_STOP. Similarly, do_break also returns without notifying to xmon. Solve this by returning NOTIFY_DONE when hw_breakpoint_handler does not find any perf_event associated with matched watchpoint, rather than NOTIFY_STOP, which tells the core code to continue calling the other breakpoint handlers including the xmon one.
