This patch fixes 2 edge cases in using kgdb in conjunction with gdb.

1) kgdb_deactivate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
   breakpoints.  The failure to do so results in breakpoints that you
   cannot remove, because a break point can only be removed if its
   state flag is set to BP_SET.

   The easy way to duplicate this problem is to plant a break point in
   a kernel module and then unload the kernel module.

2) kgdb_activate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
   breakpoints.  The failure to do so results in missed breakpoints
   when a breakpoint cannot be activated.
