copy_to_user() returns the number of bytes remaining to be copied.  We
want to return -EFAULT here instead.  Also there seems like no point
in continuing the loop if copy_to_user() fails.

The error handling still might be wrong here.  Do we really want to
change query->cnt?  Please review.

Yeah, I really butchered the error handling on this. You are correct,
query->cnt shouldn't be updated. break can be changed to 'goto out'.

Thanks,
