In vfio_spapr_iommu_eeh_ioctl(), if the ioctl command is VFIO_EEH_PE_OP,
the user-space buffer 'arg' is copied to the kernel object 'op' and the
'argsz' and 'flags' fields of 'op' are checked. If the check fails, an
error code EINVAL is returned. Otherwise, 'op.op' is further checked
through a switch statement to invoke related handlers. If 'op.op' is
VFIO_EEH_PE_INJECT_ERR, the whole user-space buffer 'arg' is copied again
to 'op' to obtain the err information. However, in the following execution
of this case, the fields of 'op', except the field 'err', are actually not
used. That is, the second copy has a redundant part. Therefore, for
performance consideration, the redundant part of the second copy should be
removed.
This patch removes such a part in the second copy. It only copies from
'err.type' to 'err.mask', which is exactly required by the
VFIO_EEH_PE_INJECT_ERR op.
