Subject: drm/vc4: Return -EFAULT on copy_from_user() failure
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 585cb132a48190b554aecda2ebc3e2911fcbb665 upstream.
The copy_from_user() function returns the number of bytes not copied but
we want to return a negative error code.
Fixes: 463873d57014 ('drm/vc4: Add an API for creating GPU shaders in GEM BOs.')
