Before:
   static void set_dawr_cb(void *info)
   {
           set_dawr(info);
   }
   
   static ssize_t dawr_write_file_bool(...)
   {
   	...
           /* If we are clearing, make sure all CPUs have the DAWR cleared */
           if (!dawr_force_enable)
                   smp_call_function(set_dawr_cb, &null_brk, 0);
   }

After:
   static void disable_dawrs(void *info)
   {
           struct arch_hw_breakpoint null_brk = {0};
           int i;
   
           for (i = 0; i < nr_wp_slots(); i++)
                   set_dawr(&null_brk, i);
   }
   
   static ssize_t dawr_write_file_bool(...)
   {
   	...
           /* If we are clearing, make sure all CPUs have the DAWR cleared */
           if (!dawr_force_enable)
                   smp_call_function(disable_dawrs, NULL, 0);
   }

We use callback function only for disabling watchpoint. Thus I renamed
it to disable_dawrs(). And we are passing null_brk as parameter which
is not really required while disabling watchpoint. So removed it.

Thanks,
