Why initialize to -EINVAL if blk_copy_sanity_check() initializes it
right away anyway?

Same thing with initializing offload.

I'm not deeply familiar with this code but this looks odd. It at least
seems possible that comp_len could be -EINVAL and len 20 at which point
you'd be doing len - comp_len aka 20 - 22 = -2 in generic_copy_file_range().
