libfs: make simple_read_from_buffer conventional

Browse source 
Impact: have simple_read_from_buffer conform to standards

It was brought to my attention by Andrew Morton, Theodore Tso, and H.
Peter Anvin that a read from userspace should only return -EFAULT if
nothing was actually read.

Looking at the simple_read_from_buffer I noticed that this function does
not conform to that rule.  This patch fixes that function.
