[PATCH -mm] prctl: Return -EFAULT on auxv fetching failure

[PATCH -mm] prctl: Return -EFAULT on auxv fetching failure

[Cyrill Gorcunov]

Dan reported that returning bytes left if copy_from_user failed
is a bad option, return traditional -EFAULT instead.

Dan, this is not for current linux-next, but for Andrew's -mm
queue, since he has prctl code already updated with v4 of the
former patch.
