[PATCH 4/5] MIPS: Execute any partial write of the last register with PTRACE_SETREGSET

[Maciej W. Rozycki]

Fix a commit d614fd58a283 ("mips/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for 
short regset write") bug and allow the last register requested with a 
ptrace(2) PTRACE_SETREGSET call to be partially written if supplied this 
way by the caller, like with other register sets.
