      s390/compat: correct restore of high gprs on signal return


      git commit 8070361799ae1e3f4ef347bd10f0a508ac10acfb

      "s390: add support for vector extension"

      broke 31-bit compat processes in regard to signal handling.


      The restore_sigregs_ext32() function is used to restore the
  additional

      elements from the user space signal frame. Among the additional
  elements

      are the upper registers halves for 64-bit register support for
  31-bit

      processes. The copy_from_user that is used to retrieve the high-
  gprs

      array from the user stack uses an incorrect length, 8 bytes
  instead of

      64 bytes. This causes incorrect upper register halves to get
  loaded.
