4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dave Martin <dave.mar...@arm.com>
commit 7195ee3120d878259e8d94a5d9f808116f34d5ea upstream.
It's not clear what behaviour is sensible when doing partial write of
NT_METAG_RPIPE, so just don't bother.
This patch assumes that userspace will never rely on a partial SETREGSET
in this case, since it's not clear what should happen anyway.
