From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> commit a49c010e61e1938be851f5e49ac219d49b704103 upstream. This is called from various hwgenerator drivers, so rather than having one "safe" version for userspace and one "unsafe" version for the kernel, just make everything safe; the checks are cheap and sensible to have anyway.
