I agree with the change; actually the data64 struct will be left untouched
if there's an error so changing this doesn't seem to make a difference.
Private IOCTLs have always_copy == false, so the argument struct isn't
copied back to the kernel.

The diff is here. Let me know if something went wrong...

Ah, there you go. :-)
