Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] sparc: fix accurate exception reporting in
 copy_to_user for Niagara 4

The referenced commit introduced exception handlers on user-space memory
references in copy_from_user and copy_to_user. These handlers return from                                               the respective function and calculate the remaining bytes left to copy
using the current register contents. This commit fixes a bad calculation.
This will fix the return value of copy_to_user in a specific faulting case.
The behaviour of memcpy stays unchanged.

Fixes: 957077048009 ("sparc64: Convert NG4copy_{from,to}_user to accurate exception reporting.")
