Subject: [PATCH 3/9] KVM: Move error code settings in kvm_vcpu_compat_ioctl()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

* A local variable was set to an error code before a concrete error
  situation was detected. Thus move the corresponding settings
  into if branches to indicate a software failure there.

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Return directly after a call of the function "copy_from_user"
  (or an other check) failed in a case block.

* Delete the jump label "out" which became unnecessary with
  this refactoring.
