Subject[PATCH] module: report -EFAULT on bytes remaining
Caught by smatch:
kernel/module.c:2450 copy_module_from_user() warn: maybe return -EFAULT instead of the bytes remaining?

Clean up the copy_from_user() call to not report a positive value.
With this patch, init_module() will report errors from copy_from_user
(before it would always only report -EFAULT when err != 0).
