ARM: 8643/3: arm/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write

Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to
PTRACE_SETREGSET to fill all the registers, the thread's old
registers are preserved.

Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.0.x-
Fixes: 5be6f62b0059 ("ARM: 6883/1: ptrace: Migrate to regsets framework")
