iommu: Avoid copying the user array twice in the full-array copy helper
iommu_copy_struct_from_full_user_array() copies a whole user array into a kernel buffer. In the common case, where user entry_len equals destination entry size, it takes a fast path and copies the whole array with a single copy_from_user(). That fast path does not return, so it falls through into the item-by-item copy_struct_from_user() loop and copies every entry a second time. For an equal entry_len that loop is just a copy_from_user() of the same bytes, so the whole array is copied twice for no benefit. Return right after the bulk copy. The per-item loop then runs only on the slow path, where entry_len differs and each entry needs size adaption.
