Hm.. we already validate that we have the proper amount of space for a given sockaddr.
The only thing we are missing is making sure that there is room to get the proper address
family and I think you can do that without adding any extra variables:

	if (walk_size + sizeof(sa_family_t) > addr_size) {
		/* Not enough room for address family */
		kfree(kaddrs);
		return -EINVAL;
	}
