4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx>
commit fd7c99142d77dc4a851879a66715abf12a3193fb upstream.
Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to
PTRACE_SETREGSET to fill all the registers, the thread's old
registers are preserved.
