while it's OK to fix style only issues, it's much better
to reorganize the code for reader clarity.

For this code, something like:

o use memdup_user
o use an exit label to free allocated memory
o invert tests to return on unexpected results
o move logical continuations to EOL
o don't use successive code like:
  	if (foo)
  		return -ERRNO;
  	else if (bar)
  		return -ERRNO;
  	else
  		baz;
  simpler and less indentation is:
  	if (foo)
		return -ERRNO;
	if (bar)
		return -ERRNO;
	baz;
