3.5.7.9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: CQ Tang <cq.tang@intel.com>

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.
