Subject: powerpc/ptrace: Preserve previous fprs/vsrs on short regset write

From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@arm.com>

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.
