Subject: [PATCH v2] MIPS: KVM: Return directly after a failed copy_from_user()
 in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl()

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

* Return directly after a call of the function "copy_from_user" failed
  in a case block.

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

Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

V2:
A label was also removed at the end.
