amdgpu_ras_debugfs_ctrl_parse_data is reachable from a debug fs write.
A write is supposed to return EFAULT when the user buffer is outside
the address space. Right now it returns EINVAL.
Change the EINVAL to EFAULT.

I found this issue using static analysis to find inconsistent error
handling regarding kernel APIs. Found on v5.17.4.
As I do not have the necessary hardware, I only managed to compile test
this on x86_64. I put this as an RFC as I'm a bit worried about possible
userspace API breakage that might rely on the EINVAL behaviour.
