What issues precisely ?

I do not think it matters, because the copy is performed later, with
all the needed checks.

eg :

if (copy_from_sockptr(&len, optlen, sizeof(int)))
    return -EFAULT;
...
len = min_t(unsigned int, sizeof(int), len);
if (copy_to_sockptr(optlen, &len, sizeof(int)))
    return -EFAULT;
if (copy_to_sockptr(optval, &val, len))
    return -EFAULT;
return 0;
