perf/hw_breakpoint: Split attribute parse and commit



arch_validate_hwbkpt_settings() mixes up attribute check and commit into
a single code entity. Therefore the validation may return an error due to
incorrect atributes while still leaving halfway modified architecture
breakpoint data.

This is harmless when we deal with a new breakpoint but it becomes a
problem when we modify an existing breakpoint.

Split attribute parse and commit to fix that. The architecture is
passed a "struct arch_hw_breakpoint" to fill on top of the new attr
and the core takes care about copying the backend data once it's fully
validated. The architectures then need to implement the new API.
