Subject: [PATCH 2/3] vhost-net: fix to check the return value of
 copy_to/from_user() correctly

copy_to/from_user() returns the number of bytes that could not be copied.

So we need to check if it is not zero, and in that case, we should return
the error number -EFAULT rather than directly return the return value from
copy_to/from_user().
