No, actually set_data_loc() updates the 'ret' argument, but it is just
disposed... (not returned to the caller)

-static nokprobe_inline void set_data_loc(int ret, void *dest, void *__dest, void *base, int len)
+static nokprobe_inline int set_data_loc(int ret, void *dest, void *__dest, void *base, int len)
 {
-	if (ret >= 0) {
-		*(u32 *)dest = make_data_loc(ret, __dest - base);
-	} else {
+	if (ret < 0) {
 		strscpy(__dest, FAULT_STRING, len);
 		ret = strlen(__dest) + 1;
 	}
+
+	*(u32 *)dest = make_data_loc(ret, __dest - base);
+	return ret;
 }

So this returns updated 'ret', and also update data_loc to use the
updated 'ret' value (which is the length of the stored data).
