Yap, Tomas said the kfree was missing on the error path but can we
simplify this further by doing the user_len check first so that the
kfree() is not even needed?

Patch ontop:

Subject: [PATCH] scsi: arcmsr: Simplify user_len checking

Do the user_len check first and then the ver_addr allocation so that
we can save us the kfree() on the error path when user_len is >
ARCMSR_API_DATA_BUFLEN.
