maccess: Fix writing offset in case of fault in strncpy_from_kernel_nofault()
If a page fault occurs while copying the first byte, this function resets one
byte before dst.
As a consequence, an address could be modified and leaded to kernel crashes if
case the modified address was accessed later.
Fixes: b58294ead14c ("maccess: allow architectures to provide kernel probing directly")
