rsxx: Return -EFAULT if copy_to_user() fails
[ Upstream commit 77516d25f54912a7baedeeac1b1b828b6f285152 ]
The copy_to_user() function returns the number of bytes remaining but
we want to return -EFAULT to the user if it can't complete the copy.
The "st" variable only holds zero on success or negative error codes on
failure so the type should be int.
