Subject: MIPS: Also verify sizeof `elf_fpreg_t' with PTRACE_SETREGSET
From: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@xxxxxxxx>
commit 006501e039eec411842bb3150c41358867d320c2 upstream.
Complement commit d614fd58a283 ("mips/ptrace: Preserve previous
registers for short regset write") and like with the PTRACE_GETREGSET
ptrace(2) request also apply a BUILD_BUG_ON check for the size of the
`elf_fpreg_t' type in the PTRACE_SETREGSET request handler.
