staging: vchiq_arm: rework vchiq_ioc_copy_element_data
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.
