The search for breakpoint handlers iterate through the entire
linked list. Given that all registered hook has a valid fn field, and no
registered hooks share the same mask and imm. This commit optimize the
efficiency slightly by returning early as a matching handler is found.

v2->v1:
Remove all WARN_ON(!hook->fn) in v1 as Will suggested.

Applied to arm64 (for-next/misc), thanks!

nit: Changelogs like ^^^ should go after the '---' line, otherwise they
end up in the git history.

I assume Catalin will pick this one up (but he'll need to tweak the
commit message as per my comment above).
