Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] MIPS: Also verify sizeof `elf_fpreg_t' with
 PTRACE_SETREGSET

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.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org # v4.11+
