When kernel is compiled with CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT=N, user can still create watchpoint using PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, with limited functionalities. But, such watchpoints are never firing because of the missing privilege settings. Fix that. It's safe to set HW_BRK_TYPE_PRIV_ALL because we don't really leak any kernel address in signal info. Setting HW_BRK_TYPE_PRIV_ALL will also help to find scenarios when kernel corrupts user memory.
