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.
