ARM: fix PTRACE_SETVFPREGS on SMP systems
PTRACE_SETVFPREGS fails to properly mark the VFP register set to be reloaded, because it undoes one of the effects of vfp_flush_hwstate(). Specifically vfp_flush_hwstate() sets thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu to an invalid CPU number, but vfp_set() overwrites this with the original CPU number, thereby rendering the hardware state as apparently "valid", even though the software state is more recent. Fix this by reverting the previous change.
