net/mlx4_core: Fix error handling when initializing CQ bufs in the driver

Procedure mlx4_init_user_cqes() handles returns by copy_to_user
incorrectly. copy_to_user() returns the number of bytes not copied.
Thus, a non-zero return should be treated as a -EFAULT error
(as is done elsewhere in the kernel). However, mlx4_init_user_cqes()
error handling simply returns the number of bytes not copied
(instead of -EFAULT).

Note, though, that this is a harmless bug: procedure mlx4_alloc_cq()
(which is the only caller of mlx4_init_user_cqes()) treats any
non-zero return as an error, but that returned error value is processed
internally, and not passed further up the call stack.

In addition, fixes the following sparse warning:
warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
   expected void [noderef] <asn:1>*to
   got void *buf
