[PATCH] bail out in mathemu if __copy_to_user fails

I believe we should check the return value of 
__copy_to_user in math-emu/fpu_entry.c and bail out of save_i387_soft() if 
it fails.
This patch does that.

This also kills the warning :
  arch/i386/math-emu/fpu_entry.c:745: warning: ignoring return value of `__copy_to_user', declared with attribute warn_unused_result
