Re: [PATCH 03/15] powerpc/watchpoint: Introduce function to get nr watchpoints dynamically

So far we had only one watchpoint, so we have hardcoded HBP_NUM to 1.
But future Power architecture is introducing 2nd DAWR and thus kernel
should be able to dynamically find actual number of watchpoints
supported by hw it's running on. Introduce function for the same.
Also convert HBP_NUM macro to HBP_NUM_MAX, which will now represent
maximum number of watchpoints supported by Powerpc.

'extern' keyword is unneeded and irrelevant here. Please remove it. Even checkpatch is unhappy (https://openpower.xyz/job/snowpatch/job/snowpatch-linux-checkpatch/12172//artifact/linux/checkpatch.log)

This is not worth a global function. At least it should be a static function located in hw_breakpoint.c. But it would be even better to have it as a static inline in asm/hw_breakpoint.h
