The call in uverbs_ioctl.c is safe as well, that code path checks that
the attribute exists.

Still, it make sense that this check should be present, so applied to
for-next with a clearer commit message

[PATCH] IB/uverbs: Add a check for uverbs_attr_get

[Chuhong Yuan]

Only uverbs_copy_to_struct_or_zero in uverbs_ioctl.c does not have a
check for uverbs_attr_get.
Although its usage in uverbs_response has a check for attr's validity,
UVERBS_HANDLER does not.
Therefore, it is better to add a check like other functions in
uverbs_ioctl.c.
