You don't preserve the minimum response size error checking in your code 
(i.e  -ENOSPC). We can expect an error if outlen is less than the
offset of rkey in ib_uverbs_reg_mr_resp.

Please note that below call to copy_to_user will succeed as it copies 
now based on resp_size and won't return the basic mandatory output.
