[patch] vmwgfx: return an -EFAULT if copy_to_user() fails

copy_to_user() returns the number of bytes remaining to be copied, but
we want to return a negative error code here.  I fixed a couple of these
last year, but I missed this one.

I think there were only three copy_to/from_user() functions in this
file and they're all fixed now.
