Subject: openrisc: fix the fix of copy_from_user()
From: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8e4b72054f554967827e18be1de0e8122e6efc04 upstream.
Since commit acb2505d0119 ("openrisc: fix copy_from_user()"),
copy_from_user() returns the number of bytes requested, not the
number of bytes not copied.
