[PATCH] kernel: debug: Handle breakpoints in kernel .init.text section

[Sumit Garg]

Currently breakpoints in kernel .init.text section are not handled
correctly while allowing to remove them even after corresponding pages
have been freed.

In order to keep track of .init.text section breakpoints, add another
breakpoint state as BP_ACTIVE_INIT and don't try to free these
breakpoints once the system is in running state.

To be clear there is still a very small window between call to
free_initmem() and system_state = SYSTEM_RUNNING which can lead to
removal of freed .init.text section breakpoints but I think we can live
with that.
