Frederic Weisbecker 1e259e0a99 hw-breakpoints: Remove stub unthrottle callback 
We support event unthrottling in breakpoint events. It means
that if we have more than sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ,
perf will throttle, ignoring subsequent events until the next
tick.

So if ptrace exceeds this max rate, it will omit events, which
breaks the ptrace determinism that is supposed to report every
triggered breakpoints. This is likely to happen if we set
sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate to 1.

This patch removes support for unthrottling in breakpoint
events to break throttling and restore ptrace determinism.
