4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Dave Martin <dave.mar...@arm.com> commit 9a17b876b573441bfb3387ad55d98bf7184daf9d upstream. Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET to fill all the registers, the thread's old registers are preserved.
