When kernel is compiled with CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT=N, user can still create watchpoint using PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, with limited functionalities. But, such watchpoints are never firing because of the missing privilege settings. Fix that. It's safe to set HW_BRK_TYPE_PRIV_ALL because we don't really leak any kernel address in signal info. Setting HW_BRK_TYPE_PRIV_ALL will also help to find scenarios when kernel accesses user memory.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
