If I understand it right, in this case we have to firstly assign
INVALID_UID to u->uid (to check it with uid_valid() in the error path)
and then do 'u->uid = uid'. But from the first sight it would be not so
obvious and may require adding some comment on it. Isn't it better to
stay explicit here by maintaining several goto labels?
