Return zero in aarch64_linux_can_use_hw_breakpoint if target doesn't support HW watchpoint/breakpoint
Nowadays aarch64_linux_can_use_hw_breakpoint always return one, but it can be smarter, say, if GDB knows target doesn't support HW watchpoint or breakpoint because HW watchpoint/breakpoint is disabled in linux kernel, for example, it can safely return zero. gdb: 2015-07-23 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> * aarch64-linux-nat.c (aarch64_linux_can_use_hw_breakpoint): If TYPE is watchpoint, return zero if aarch64_num_wp_regs is zero. If TYPE is breakpoint, return zero if arch64_num_bp_regs is zero.
