The _inatomic functions are know to buggy but this doesn't quite fix the
whole issues with them.
ok so the patch's should have been: "Fix console warnings triggered by
__copy_{to,from}_user_inatomic()"
On error __copy_from_user_inatomic should not
clear the non-copied part of the destination buffer. See
01408c4939479ec46c15aa7ef6e2406be50eeeca and
7c12d81134b130ccd4c286b434ca48c4cda71a2f for the rationale.
I'll try to take a look at it.
Thanks
