This check was actually important.  I don't see where it was moved to so
it looks like this patch introduces a serious information leak.

Don't introduce this wrapper.  Abstraction layers just make the code
harder to read and obscures bugs.  Also the caller changes -EFAULT to
-EINVAL so right away it starts to be buggy.

Generally, remove pointless double negatives like this.  It should be
just "if (err) " instead of "if (err != 0 != 0 != 0 != 0) " or whatever.

This variable has not been verified since the user wrote to it last so
here is the information leak.
