Impact: have simple_read_from_buffer conform to standards
It was brought to my attention by Andrew Morton, Theodore Tso, and H. Peter Anvin that a read from userspace should only return -EFAULT if nothing was actually read. Looking at the simple_read_from_buffer I noticed that this function does not conform to that rule. This patch fixes that function.
