hw-breakpoints: reset bits in dr6 after the corresponding exception is handled

This patch resets the bit in dr6 after the corresponding exception is
handled in code, so that we keep a clean track of the current virtual debug
status register.

[ Impact: keep track of breakpoints triggering completion ]
