Subject: hexagon: fix strncpy_from_user() error return
From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit f35c1e0671728d1c9abc405d05ef548b5fcb2fc4 upstream.
It's -EFAULT, not -1 (and contrary to the comment in there,
__strnlen_user() can return 0 - on faults).
Acked-by: Richard Kuo <rkuo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
