Linus Torvalds 3b91270a0a x86-64: make csum_partial_copy_from_user() error handling consistent
Al Viro pointed out that the x86-64 csum_partial_copy_from_user() is
somewhat confused about what it should do on errors, notably it mostly
clears the uncopied end result buffer, but misses that for the initial
alignment case.

All users should check for errors, so it's dubious whether the clearing
is even necessary, and Al also points out that we should probably clean
up the calling conventions, but regardless of any future changes to this
function, the fact that it is inconsistent is just annoying.

So make the __get_user() failure path use the same error exit as all the
other errors do.
