Subject: [PATCH 4.4 77/77] x86/ptrace: fix up botched merge of spectrev1 fix

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

I incorrectly merged commit 31a2fbb390fe ("x86/ptrace: Fix possible
spectre-v1 in ptrace_get_debugreg()") when backporting it, as was
graciously pointed out at
https://grsecurity.net/teardown_of_a_failed_linux_lts_spectre_fix.php

Resolve the upstream difference with the stable kernel merge to properly
protect things.
