powerpc, hw_breakpoint: Fix off-by-one in checking access address
The code would accept an access to an address one byte past the end of the requested range as legitimate, due to having a "<=" rather than a "<". This fixes that and cleans up the code a bit. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
