ptrace/x86: ptrace_write_dr7() should create bp if !disabled

24f1e32c ("hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf
events") introduced the minor regression.  Before this commit

PTRACE_POKEUSER DR7, enableDR0
PTRACE_POKEUSER DR0, address

was perfectly valid, now PTRACE_POKEUSER(DR7) fails if DR0 was not
previously initialized by PTRACE_POKEUSER(DR0).

Change ptrace_write_dr7() to do ptrace_register_breakpoint(addr => 0) if
!bp && !disabled.  This fixes watchpoint-zeroaddr from ptrace-tests, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=660204.
