Subject: [PATCH][CAN]: Fix copy_from_user() results interpretation

Both copy_to_ and _from_user return the number of bytes, that failed to
reach their destination, not the 0/-EXXX values.

Based on patch from Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@...nvz.org>

OK - here is a proper patch.
Actual patch is the same - I just added a proper changelog.
