Currently, copy_mc_[user]_highpage() returns zero on success, or in case
of failures, the number of bytes that weren't copied.

While tracking the number of not copied works fine for x86 and PPC, There
are some difficulties in doing the same thing on ARM64 because there is no
available caller-saved register in copy_page()(lib/copy_page.S) to save
"bytes not copied", and the following copy_mc_page() will also encounter
the same problem.

Consider the caller of copy_mc_[user]_highpage() cannot do any processing
on the remaining data(The page has hardware errors), they only check if
copy was succeeded or not, make the interface more generic by using an
error code when copy fails (-EFAULT) or return zero on success.
