Prevent user watchpoints from mistakenly firing while the temporary mm
is being used. As the addresses that of the temporary mm might overlap
those of the user-process, this is necessary to prevent wrong signals
or worse things from happening.

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().

Good point. I will fix it for next version.
