Caught by smatch:
kernel/module.c:2450 copy_module_from_user() warn: maybe return -EFAULT instead of the bytes remaining?
Fix the check of copy_from_user() to report -EFAULT as was done before.

Should be applied on top of the finit_module syscall patches.
v2:
- copy_from_user never returns negative, thanks to Dan Carpenter.
