4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org>
commit f67b15037a7a50c57f72e69a6d59941ad90a0f0f upstream.
Annoyingly, modify_user_hw_breakpoint() unnecessarily complicates the
modification of a breakpoint - simplify it and remove the pointless
local variables.
Also update the stale Docbook while at it.
