ARM: 8425/1: kgdb: Don't try to stop the machine when setting breakpoints
commit 7ae85dc upstream.
In (23a4e40 arm: kgdb: Handle read-only text / modules) we moved to
using patch_text() to set breakpoints so that we could handle the case
when we had CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. That patch used patch_text().
Unfortunately, patch_text() assumes that we're not in atomic context
when it runs since it needs to grab a mutex and also wait for other
CPUs to stop (which it does with a completion).
This would result in a stack crawl if you had
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP and tried to set a breakpoint in kgdb. The
crawl looked something like:
BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0/0x00010007

It turns out that when we're in kgdb all the CPUs are stopped anyway
so there's no reason we should be calling patch_text(). We can
instead directly call __patch_text() which assumes that CPUs have
already been stopped.
