We get the below warning if we try to use kexec on P9:
    kexec_core: Starting new kernel
    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1223 at arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c:826 __set_breakpoint+0xb4/0x140

This happens since we are trying to clear hw breakpoint on POWER9, though
we don't have CPU_FTR_DAWR enabled. Guard __set_breakpoint() within
hw_breakpoint_disable() with ppc_breakpoint_available() to address this.
