Perhaps I missed it but did you address the compile error that was
found by the kernel test robot?

Regardless, one comment inline below ...

Since we are shifting to use syscall_get_return_value() below, would
it also make sense to shift to using syscall_get_error() here instead
of is_syscall_success()?
