3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: CQ Tang <[email protected]> commit 66db3feb486c01349f767b98ebb10b0c3d2d021b upstream. The increment of "to" in copy_user_handle_tail() will have incremented before a failure has been noted. This causes us to skip a byte in the failure case. Only do the increment when assured there is no failure.
