How to load taxonomy terms from user profile field using entityfieldquery()?

I want to write hook_node_form_alter() and limit taxonomy terms with only user checked terms on his profile in field_companies. I can’t pass the 1st step – load array of user checked terms from field_companies using entityfieldquery. This code does not work:

$query = new EntityFieldQuery();  $result = $query   ->entityCondition('entity_type', 'user')   ->entityCondition('bundle', 'user')   ->fieldCondition('field_companies', 'entity_id', $user->uid)   ->execute(); 

The error message is:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054  Unknown column 'field_data_field_companies0.field_companies_entity_id' in 'where clause':  SELECT DISTINCT field_data_field_companies0.entity_type  AS entity_type, field_data_field_companies0.entity_id AS entity_id, field_data_field_companies0.revision_id AS revision_id, field_data_field_companies0.bundle AS bundle  FROM {field_data_field_companies} field_data_field_companies0  WHERE (field_data_field_companies0.field_companies_entity_id = :db_condition_placeholder_0)  AND (field_data_field_companies0.deleted = :db_condition_placeholder_1)  AND (field_data_field_companies0.entity_type = :db_condition_placeholder_2) ;  Array ( [:db_condition_placeholder_0] => 1 [:db_condition_placeholder_1] => 0 [:db_condition_placeholder_2] => user ) in function field_sql_storage_field_storage_query()  (line 632 in file modules/field/modules/field_sql_storage/field_sql_storage.module) 

This query does not give terms, but only array with user[uid]=1 :

$query = new EntityFieldQuery(); $term_entities = $query   ->entityCondition('entity_type', 'user')   ->entityCondition('bundle', 'user')   ->entityCondition('entity_id', $user->uid)    ->fieldCondition('field_companies', 'tid', 0, '>=')   ->execute();
