I don't remember my patch, but I see that the function returns a pointer
that gets dereferenced afterwards. Changing this is probably a good idea
(the caller does return an error code), but it requires a few extra changes.
If there is a larger rework, I'd suggest using a single kzalloc to get all
three arrays at once to get simpler error handling.
