Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Fix use of uninitialized var in 40a5f0de

i915_gem_put_relocs_to_user returned an uninitialized value which
got returned to userspace. This caused libdrm in my setup to never
get out of a do{}while() loop retrying i915_gem_execbuffer.

result was hanging X, overheating of cpu and 2-3gb of logfile-spam.

This patch adresses the issue by
 1. initializing vars in this file where necessary
 2. correcting wrongly interpreted return values of copy_[from/to]_user

Nice catch!  Thanks.  I did some cleanup that brings it more in line
with style elsewhere in the code and cuts some of the gratuitous looking
changes.  Would you be OK with these changes rolled into your original
diff?
