From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 10e7ac22cdd4d211cef99afcb9371b70cb175be6 ]

Calling return copy_to_user(...) in an ioctl will not do the right thing
if there's a pagefault: copy_to_user returns the number of bytes not
copied in this case.

Fix up watchdog/rc32434_wdt to do
	return copy_to_user(...)) ?  -EFAULT : 0;

instead.
