Originally flagged by Smatch because the code implicitly assumed outSize
is not NULL for non-async upcalls because of a flag that was (not) set
in req->uc_flags.
However req->uc_flags field is in shared state and although the current
code will not allow it to be changed before the async request check the
code is more robust when it tests against the local outSize variable.
