You pointlessly renamed a variable, which makes the diff hard to read.
Please don't do that.

You missed the fact that the passed in pointer is unmodified if
mgmt_get_if_info() returns non zero, so the kfree frees junk and would
oops.

There's no need for a goto; len = -EINVAL; does everything that's
needed.
