4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx>
commit a672401c00f82e4e19704aff361d9bad18003714 upstream.
Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to
PTRACE_SETREGSET to fill all the registers, the thread's old
registers are preserved.
Fixes: 5d220ff9420f ("arm64: Better native ptrace support for compat tasks")
