perf,hw_breakpoint: Initialize hardware api earlier

When using early debugging, the kernel does not initialize the
hw_breakpoint API early enough and causes the late initialization of
the kernel debugger to fail. The boot arguments are:

    earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait

Then simply type "go" at the kdb prompt and boot. The kernel will
later emit the message:

    kgdb: Could not allocate hwbreakpoints

And at that point the kernel debugger will cease to work correctly.

The solution is to initialize the hw_breakpoint at the same time that
all the other perf call backs are initialized instead of using a
core_initcall() initialization which happens well after the kernel
debugger can make use of hardware breakpoints.
