[PATCH 6.19 386/844] usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix ioctl error handling

[ Upstream commit 8e4c1d06183c25022f6b0002a5cab84979ca6337 ]

When ffs_epfile_ioctl handles FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_* ioctls, it's currently
falling through when copy_from_user fails.

However, this fallthrough isn't being checked properly, so the handler
continues executing further than it should. It then tries the secondary
dispatch where it ultimately gives up and returns -ENOTTY.

The end result is invalid ioctl invocations will yield a -ENOTTY rather
than an -EFAULT.

It's a common pattern elsewhere in the kernel code to directly return
-EFAULT when copy_from_user fails. So we update ffs_epfile_ioctl to do
the same and fix this issue.
