[PATCH v6 3/4] ipmi: ssif_bmc: Return -EFAULT if copy_from_user() fails

[Quan Nguyen]

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter at oracle.com>

The copy_from_user() function returns the number of bytes remaining to
be copied but we should return -EFAULT here.

Fixes: 501c25b59508 ("ipmi: ssif_bmc: Add SSIF BMC driver")
