Subject: MIPS: Also verify sizeof `elf_fpreg_t' with PTRACE_SETREGSET

From: Maciej W. Rozycki <[email protected]>

commit 006501e039eec411842bb3150c41358867d320c2 upstream.

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.
