Subject[09/37] net: Fix wrong interpretation of some copy_to_user() results.
2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>

[ Upstream commit: 653252c2302cdf2dfbca66a7e177f7db783f9efa ]

I found some places, that erroneously return the value obtained from
the copy_to_user() call: if some amount of bytes were not able to get
to the user (this is what this one returns) the proper behavior is to
return the -EFAULT error, not that number itself.
