From: Maciej W. Rozycki macro@mips.com

commit c8c5a3a24d395b14447a9a89d61586a913840a3b upstream.

Complement commit c23b3d1a5311 ("MIPS: ptrace: Change GP regset to use correct core dump register layout") and also reject outsized PTRACE_SETREGSET requests to the NT_PRFPREG regset, like with the NT_PRSTATUS regset.
