waitid(): Avoid unbalanced user_access_end() on access_ok() error
As pointed out by Linus and David, the earlier waitid() fix resulted in a (currently harmless) unbalanced user_access_end() call. This fixes it to just directly return EFAULT on access_ok() failure. Fixes: 96ca579a1ecc ("waitid(): Add missing access_ok() checks") Acked-by: David Daney <david.daney@cavium.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
