hw_breakpoints: Release the bp slot if arch_validate_hwbkpt_settings() fails.
On a given architecture, when hardware breakpoint registration fails
due to un-supported access type (read/write/execute), we lose the bp
slot since register_perf_hw_breakpoint() does not release the bp slot
on failure.
Hence, any subsequent hardware breakpoint registration starts failing
with 'no space left on device' error.
This patch introduces error handling in register_perf_hw_breakpoint()
function and releases bp slot on error.
