[RFC v1 2/6] pseries/papr-hvpipe: Fix the usage of copy_to_user()

[Ritesh Harjani (IBM)]

copy_to_user() return bytes_not_copied to the user buffer. If there was
an error writing bytes into the user buffer, i.e. if copy_to_user
returns a non-zero value, then we simply return -EFAULT from the
->read() call.
