arm64: ptrace: Fix VFP register dumping in compat coredumps
Currently, VFP registers are omitted from coredumps for compat processes, due to a bug in the REGSET_COMPAT_VFP regset implementation. compat_vfp_get() needs to transfer non-contiguous data from thread_struct.fpsimd_state, and uses put_user() to handle the offending trailing word (FPSCR). This fails when copying to a kernel address (i.e., kbuf && !ubuf), which is what happens when dumping core. As a result, the ELF coredump core code silently omits the NT_ARM_VFP note from the dump. It would be possible to work around this with additional special case code for the put_user(), but since user_regset_copyout() is explicitly designed to handle this scenario it is cleaner to port the put_user() to a user_regset_copyout() call, which this patch does.
