3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx>
commit 99dfe80a2a246c600440a815741fd2e74a8b4977 upstream.
Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET
to fill all the registers, the thread's old registers are preserved.
Fixes: c6e6771b87d4 ("powerpc: Introduce VSX thread_struct and CONFIG_VSX")
