Thanks for the update, in general this looks much better already. A few 
further comments below.

Add a newline between the defines and the declaration.

Assigment from void * does not need explicit casting.

strcpy() is deprecated, please use strscpy().

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strcpy

Btw, the usual coding style requires braces to be balanced so the else 
should have braces on both sides if either side requires them.

strscpy().

Can't you do this strscpy() before you goto here? Then you can share the 
return path with the normal return path since only kfree() remains here.
