Dave Martin 16d38acb12 arm64: ptrace: Remove redundant overrun check from compat_vfp_set()
compat_vfp_set() checks for userspace trying to write an excessive
amount of data to the regset.  However this check is conspicuous
for its absence from every other _set() in the arm64 ptrace
implementation.  In fact, the core ptrace_regset() already clamps
userspace's iov_len to the regset size before the individual regset
.{get,set}() methods get called.

This patch removes the redundant check.

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.
