Subject: [PATCH 4.9 097/107] MIPS: Correct the 64-bit DSP accumulator register size

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

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

From: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@...s.com>

commit f5958b4cf4fc38ed4583ab83fb7c4cd1ab05f47b upstream.

Use the `unsigned long' rather than `__u32' type for DSP accumulator
registers, like with the regular MIPS multiply/divide accumulator and
general-purpose registers, as all are 64-bit in 64-bit implementations
and using a 32-bit data type leads to contents truncation on context
saving.

Update `arch_ptrace' and `compat_arch_ptrace' accordingly, removing
casts that are similarly not used with multiply/divide accumulator or
general-purpose register accesses.
