Can this branch ever be hit without a kernel bug? If yes, I think
-EFAULT is probably a weird error code to choose here. If no, this
should probably use WARN_ON(). Same thing in cetregs_set().
When a thread is not CET-enabled, its CET state does not exist. I
looked at EFAULT, and it means "Bad address". Maybe this can be ENODEV,
which means "No such device"?
Yeah, I guess ENODEV might fit reasonably well.
I will update it. Thanks!
