4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dave Martin <dave.mar...@arm.com>
commit a78ce80d2c9178351b34d78fec805140c29c193e upstream.
Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET
to fill all the registers, the thread's old registers are preserved.
