Pretty sure caching hw_breakpoint_active() is unnecessary. It queries a
per-cpu value, not hardware's DR7 register, and that same value is
consumed by hw_breakpoint_restore(). No idea if breakpoints can be
disabled while using a temp mm, but even if that can happen, there's no
need to restore breakpoints if they've all been disabled, i.e. if
hw_breakpoint_active() returns false in unuse_temporary_mm().
