regset: Prevent null pointer reference on readonly regsets
commit c8e252586f8d5de906385d8cf6385fee289a825e upstream.
The regset common infrastructure assumed that regsets would always
have .get and .set methods, but not necessarily .active methods.
Unfortunately people have since written regsets without .set methods.
Rather than putting in stub functions everywhere, handle regsets with
null .get or .set methods explicitly.
