Subject: [PATCH 3.16 101/202] drm/vmwgfx: Return error code from
 vmw_execbuf_copy_fence_user

3.16.66-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@...are.com>

commit 728354c005c36eaf44b6e5552372b67e60d17f56 upstream.

The function was unconditionally returning 0, and a caller would have to
rely on the returned fence pointer being NULL to detect errors. However,
the function vmw_execbuf_copy_fence_user() would expect a non-zero error
code in that case and would BUG otherwise.

So make sure we return a proper non-zero error code if the fence pointer
returned is NULL.
