Due to being a __weak function, hw_breakpoint_weight() will cause the
compiler to always emit a call to it. This generates unnecessarily bad
code (register spills etc.) for no good reason; in fact it appears in
profiles of `perf bench -r 100 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 128 -t 512`:

    ...
    0.70%  [kernel]       [k] hw_breakpoint_weight
    ...

While a small percentage, no architecture defines its own
hw_breakpoint_weight() nor are there users outside hw_breakpoint.c,
which makes the fact it is currently __weak a poor choice.

Change hw_breakpoint_weight()'s definition to follow a similar protocol
to hw_breakpoint_slots(), such that if <asm/hw_breakpoint.h> defines
hw_breakpoint_weight(), we'll use it instead.

The result is that it is inlined and no longer shows up in profiles.
