[PATCH 3.12 36/72] MIPS: ptrace: Fix regs_return_value for kernel context

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakowski@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 74f1077b5b783e7bf4fa3007cefdc8dbd6c07518 upstream.

Currently regs_return_value always negates reg[2] if it determines
the syscall has failed, but when called in kernel context this check is
invalid and may result in returning a wrong value.

This fixes errors reported by CONFIG_KPROBES_SANITY_TEST

Fixes: d7e7528bcd45 ("Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h")
