MIPS: Guard against any partial write attempt with PTRACE_SETREGSET
Complement commit d614fd58 ("mips/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write") and ensure that no partial register write attempt is made with PTRACE_SETREGSET, as we do not preinitialize any temporaries used to hold incoming register data and consequently random data could be written. It is the responsibility of the caller, such as `ptrace_regset', to arrange for writes to span whole registers only, so here we only assert that it has indeed happened. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
