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.
