In vfio_spapr_iommu_eeh_ioctl(), if the ioctl command is VFIO_EEH_PE_OP,
the user-space buffer 'arg' is copied to the kernel object 'op' and the
'argsz' and 'flags' fields of 'op' are checked. If the check fails, an
error code EINVAL is returned. Otherwise, 'op.op' is further checked
through a switch statement to invoke related handlers. If 'op.op' is
VFIO_EEH_PE_INJECT_ERR, the whole user-space buffer 'arg' is copied again
to 'op' to obtain the err information. However, in the following execution
of this case, the fields of 'op', except the field 'err', are actually not
used. That is, the second copy has a redundant part. Therefore, for
performance consideration, the redundant part of the second copy should be
removed.
This patch removes such a part in the second copy. It only copies from
'err.type' to 'err.mask', which is exactly required by the
VFIO_EEH_PE_INJECT_ERR op.

I'd like to see testing and/or review from David or Alexey since I also
don't have an environment for spapr/eeh. We're already late into the
v4.20 merge window so this is probably v4.21 material. Thanks,
Alex

I didn't spot this for ages, since I wasn't CCed, I'm guessing the
same is true for Alexey.
TBH, I don't think it's worth bothering with this. It's a tiny amount
of extra work on a rare debug path. A couple of code lines simplicity
is worth more than a few bytes worth of redundant copy here.
Testing is.. difficult, since the EEH is already so broken it's hard
to know what to compare against. Sam Bobroff is already looking
medium-long term at a bunch of EEH rework, so it's quite possible this
will be rewritten then anyway.
