[PATCH 2/7] x86/hw-breakpoints: Actually flush thread breakpoints in flush_thread().

[Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>]

From: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

flush_thread() tries to do a TIF_DEBUG check before calling in to
flush_thread_hw_breakpoint() (which subsequently clears the thread flag),
but for some reason, the x86 code is manually clearing TIF_DEBUG
immediately before the test, so this path will never be taken.

This kills off the erroneous clear_tsk_thread_flag() and lets
flush_thread_hw_breakpoint() actually get invoked.

Presumably folks were getting lucky with testing and the
free_thread_info() -> free_thread_xstate() path was taking care of the
flush there.
