If get_user() fails when reading the new FPSCR value from userspace
in compat_vfp_get(), then garbage* will be written to the task's
FPSR and FPCR registers.
This patch prevents this by checking the return from get_user()
first.
[*] Actually, zero, due to the behaviour of get_user() on error, but
that's still not what userspace expects.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
