Think I'd not that this simplifies the code considerably.
AFAICT CONFIG_KASAN is a just brainf*ck.
It at least needs annotation that copy_from_user() has properties
similar to memset().
So if the size matches that of the type then no guard space (etc)
is required.

That error path doesn't look quite right to me.
