If the copy_from_user() fails or the user gives invalid date then the
correct thing to do is to return a negative error code. (Currently it
returns success).
I made a copy additional related cleanups:
1) There is no need to check "buffer" for NULL. That's handled by
copy_from_user().
2) The "h2c_len" variable cannot be negative because it is unsigned
and because sscanf() does not return negative error codes.
