I've noticed that update_watchpoint fail to exit early in case the
breakpoint's disposition is disp_del_at_next_stop. That disposition is
used for breakpoints that we need to delete when they are out of scope --
that's kind of hack, as trying to call delete_breakpoint directly will
lead to crashes as later code touches this breakpoint. 

Without this check, nothing breaks, but we sometimes get a message about
a deleted watchpoint twice. To fix it, the below one-liner should
be applied on top of this patch.
