Sure, I will send in a separate patch for selftest and also for the typo.

All these are good candidates for nullness checks too (I also thought
about bpf_inode and
bpf_task having a null check).

I kind of like the explicit check / input validation in the helper
before it does anything with the pointer.
It's a reminder that the value cannot be assumed to be NULL.

FWIW, we do a similar explicit check in the socket storage code as well.
