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.
