powerpc/watchpoint: Don't allow concurrent perf and ptrace events
With Book3s DAWR, ptrace and perf watchpoints on powerpc behaves differently. Ptrace watchpoint works in one-shot mode and generates signal before executing instruction. It's ptrace user's job to single-step the instruction and re-enable the watchpoint. OTOH, in case of perf watchpoint, kernel emulates/single-steps the instruction and then generates event. If perf and ptrace creates two events with same or overlapping address ranges, it's ambiguous to decide who should single-step the instruction. Because of this issue, don't allow perf and ptrace watchpoint at the same time if their address range overlaps.
