Subject: [PATCH 3.16 074/192] arm64: ptrace: Avoid setting compat FP[SC]R
 to garbage if get_user fails

3.16.49-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit 53b1a742ed251780267a57415bc955bd50f40c3d upstream.

If get_user() fails when reading the new FPSCR value from userspace
in compat_vfp_get(), then garbage* will be written to the task's
FPSR and FPCR registers.

This patch prevents this by checking the return from get_user()
first.

[*] Actually, zero, due to the behaviour of get_user() on error, but
that's still not what userspace expects.

Fixes: 478fcb2cdb23 ("arm64: Debugging support")
