MIPS: ptrace: Expose FIR register through FP regset
Correct commit 7aeb753b ("MIPS: Implement task_user_regset_view.") and expose the FIR register using the unused 4 bytes at the end of the NT_PRFPREG regset. Without that register included clients cannot use the PTRACE_GETREGSET request to retrieve the complete FPU register set and have to resort to one of the older interfaces, either PTRACE_PEEKUSR or PTRACE_GETFPREGS, to retrieve the missing piece of data. Also the register is irreversibly missing from core dumps. This register is architecturally hardwired and read-only so the write path does not matter. Ignore data supplied on writes then.
