Subject: [PATCH 4.4 06/14] c6x/ptrace: Remove useless PTRACE_SETREGSET implementation

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

commit fb411b837b587a32046dc4f369acb93a10b1def8 upstream.

gpr_set won't work correctly and can never have been tested, and the
correct behaviour is not clear due to the endianness-dependent task
layout.

So, just remove it.  The core code will now return -EOPNOTSUPPORT when
trying to set NT_PRSTATUS on this architecture until/unless a correct
implementation is supplied.
