[PATCH] powerpc/mm: Return directly after a failed __copy_from_user() in sys_subpage_prot()

* Return directly after a call of the function "__copy_from_user"
failed here.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Delete the jump label "out2" which became unnecessary with
this refactoring.
