pattern_write() reports -EFAULT when copy_from_user() fails, but
pattern_read() converts copy_to_user() failures into a zero-length read.
That makes a userspace buffer fault look like EOF instead of reporting the
actual error.

Return -EFAULT from pattern_read() when copying the pattern data to
userspace fails, and update the file offset only after a successful copy.
