Subject: [PATCH 5.4 036/184] posix-timers: Preserve return value in clock_adjtime32()

From: Chen Jun <chenjun102@...wei.com>

commit 2d036dfa5f10df9782f5278fc591d79d283c1fad upstream.

The return value on success (>= 0) is overwritten by the return value of
put_old_timex32(). That works correct in the fault case, but is wrong for
the success case where put_old_timex32() returns 0.

Just check the return value of put_old_timex32() and return -EFAULT in case
it is not zero.
