Subject: [PATCH 4.14 08/33] ALSA: wavefront: Proper check of get_user() error

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit a34ae6c0660d3b96b0055f68ef74dc9478852245 upstream.

The antient ISA wavefront driver reads its sample patch data (uploaded
over an ioctl) via __get_user() with no good reason; likely just for
some performance optimizations in the past.  Let's change this to the
standard get_user() and the error check for handling the fault case
properly.
