4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> commit f67b15037a7a50c57f72e69a6d59941ad90a0f0f upstream. Annoyingly, modify_user_hw_breakpoint() unnecessarily complicates the modification of a breakpoint - simplify it and remove the pointless local variables. Also update the stale Docbook while at it.
