Looks technically correct to me, if you replace the 'return -ENOMEM' with
'ret = -ENOMEM;\n goto out;'.

The video_usercopy function already has multiple micro-optimizations
(on-stack buffers, cmd_input_size) that make it more complex than
I'd hope, but your addition seems ok to me.

Let's see what Mauro thinks.
