Ravi Bangoria bc01bdf6c5 powerpc/watchpoint: Disable watchpoint hit by larx/stcx instructions
If watchpoint exception is generated by larx/stcx instructions, the
reservation created by larx gets lost while handling exception, and
thus stcx instruction always fails. Generally these instructions are
used in a while(1) loop, for example spinlocks. And because stcx
never succeeds, it loops forever and ultimately hangs the system.

Note that ptrace anyway works in one-shot mode and thus for ptrace
we don't change the behaviour. It's up to ptrace user to take care
of this.
