RHEL 4.18 kernel got this patch
commit bd14406b78e6d("perf/hw_breakpoint: Modify breakpoint even if the new attrhas disabled set") since 4.18.0-49.

Without this fix, this case failed as below on RHEL8:
tst_kernel.c:79: TINFO: uname.machine=x86_64 kernel is 64bit
ptrace08.c:96: TINFO: Trying address 0xffff800000000000
ptrace08.c:122: TFAIL: ptrace() breakpoint with kernel addr succeeded
ptrace08.c:96: TINFO: Trying address 0xffffffffffffffff
ptrace08.c:122: TFAIL: ptrace() breakpoint with kernel addr succeeded
ptrace08.c:96: TINFO: Trying address 0xffffbfffffffffff
ptrace08.c:122: TFAIL: ptrace() breakpoint with kernel addr succeeded
