Subject: watchdog: rc32434_wdt: fix ioctl error handling

From: Michael S. Tsirkin <[email protected]>

commit 10e7ac22cdd4d211cef99afcb9371b70cb175be6 upstream.

Calling return copy_to_user(...) in an ioctl will not do the right thing if there's a pagefault: copy_to_user returns the number of bytes not copied in this case.

Fix up watchdog/rc32434_wdt to do

	return copy_to_user(...)) ?  -EFAULT : 0;

instead.
