[PATCH RFC 06/18] staging: vchiq_arm: rework vchiq_ioc_copy_element_data

[Nicolas Saenz Julienne]

The function is passed to vchiq_core.c for it to go trough all the
transfer elements (an array of pointers to data) and copy them into the
actual transfer memory (contiguous memory).

The logic in the function was "copy an element and return, except when
the element is empty, in which case look for the next non-empty element
and copy it. The function will be called as many times as necessary until
all the elements are copied".

Now, this approach already forces the function to loop around elements
and felt convoluted, so it was changed to a more straightforward "Copy
all the elements into memory as long as they fit".

The resulting function is shorter and simpler.
