Hi,

 In the course of adding RISC-V/Linux support to `gdbserver' I examined 
our Linux regset code to make sure I get the userland side right and 
discovered a discrepancy between how our internal `user_regset_copyout' 
and `user_regset_copyout' API has been defined and how we call it in the 
RISC-V backend in the handling of the NT_PRFPREG regset.  Additionally I 
found that code violating our coding style.

 To address these issues I made this small patch set, addressing each of 
them separately.  See individual change descriptions for details.

 These changes are hopefully obviously correct, however to make sure I 
have verified them manually with a HiFive Unleashed board running 
`gdbserver' controlled remotely by GDB and also by running the full GDB 
testsuite in the same environment using the lp64d ABI, without and with 
the changes applied.

 Please apply.

  Maciej
