Lai Jiangshan 97417cb9ad x86/hw_breakpoint: Prevent data breakpoints on direct GDT
A data breakpoint on the GDT can be fatal and must be avoided.  The GDT in
the CPU entry area is already protected, but not the direct GDT.

Add the necessary protection.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
