Staging: bcm: Check correct user provided length and fix error code returned 

bcm driver copies a buffer length provided by userpace without checking it.

RxCntrlMsgBitMask is of type unsigned long so only makes sense to copy
sizeof(unsigned long) bytes.

Also, copy_from_user() returns the number of bytes that could not be copied.
The driver is returning that value as error code instead of -EFAULT.

This patch solves both issues.
