I'm curious...

What attracted you to this particular _store function? AFAICT the same
ignoring of return values occurs in other _store functions in this file?

This isn't right. The caller of the store function expects -errno
values (this is the default for almost all kernel functions).

There's nothing *wrong* with goto for error handling but is it
really needed here (there is no recovery code)?
