3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx>
commit d3805c546b275c8cc7d40f759d029ae92c7175f2 upstream.
Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET
to fill all the registers, the thread's old registers are preserved.
