I think this is wrong.

If you introduce the "bool compat" thing, you should also change the
type of the argument pointers to some opaque type at the same time.
It's no longer really a

  const char __user *const __user *

pointer at that point. Trying to claim it is, is just wrong. The type
suddently becomes conditional on that 'compat' variable.
