Kernel breakpoints are created using functions in which we pass
breakpoint parameters as individual variables: address, length
and type.
Although it fits well for x86, this just does not scale across
architectures that may support this api later as these may have
more or different needs. Pass in a perf_event_attr structure
instead because it is meant to evolve as much as possible into
a generic hardware breakpoint parameter structure.

When a pinned group cannot be scheduled it goes into error state.
Normally a group cannot go out of error state without being
explicitly re-enabled or disabled. There was a bug in per-thread
mode, whereby upon termination of the thread, the group would
transition from error to off leading to bogus counts and timing
information returned by read().
Fix it by clearing the error state.

bp_perf_event_destroy() is unused in its off-case version, let's
remove it to fix the following warning reported by Stephen
Rothwell in linux-next:

If the new percpu tree is combined with the perf events tree
the following new warning triggers:
kernel/hw_breakpoint.c: In function 'toggle_bp_task_slot':
kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:151: warning: 'task_bp_pinned' is used uninitialized in this function
Because it's not valid anymore to define a local variable
and a percpu variable (even if it's file scope local) with
the same name.
Rename the local variable to resolve this.

When we schedule out a breakpoint from the cpu, we also
incidentally remove the "Global exact breakpoint" flag from the
breakpoint control register. It makes us losing the fine grained
precision about the origin of the instructions that may trigger
breakpoint exceptions for the other breakpoints running in this
cpu.

In fail case, perf_event_create_kernel_counter() returns NULL
instead of an error, which doesn't help us to inform the user
about the origin of the problem from the outer most callers.
Often we can just return -EINVAL, which doesn't help anyone when
it's eventually about a memory allocation failure.
Then, this patch makes perf_event_create_kernel_counter() always
return a detailed error code.

It is not quite obvious at first sight what TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE
does: does it define an event as well beyond defining a template?
To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows
the various 'DECLARE_*()' idioms we already have in the kernel:
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(class)
DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1)
DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2)
DEFINE_EVENT(class, event3)
To complete this logic we should also rename TRACE_EVENT() to:
DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(single_event)
... but in a more quiet moment of the kernel cycle.
