Ah, it's simply broken. This code is conditional on a module param that's
off by default, i.e. it's not run widely, and odds are intersection with
debugging is rare.

Moving local_irq_enable() below the DR7 restoration is not an issue.

Maybe also add lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled() to hw_breakpoint_restore() or
hw_breakpoint_active()?
