I have reviewed the code in a less totally lazy way and your patch is
correct.
Reviewed-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
The bug is harmless, though. We copy over the list pointers with user
data and then immediately write the correct data to it.
It should probably be a static checker warning when we copy to non
__user tagged pointers. I think someone was adding this to Sparse but I
should probably add it to Smatch as well.
