Yes, you are right.  I didn't notice your code submission(commit-id is f67169fef8dbcc1a) in 2019 
and the kernel we tested is a bit old. Normally,  your code submission can avoid this bug.

Yes,  remove tests on the positiveness of tcfp_nkeys in this case can also make code more robust,
In particular,  at some abnormal situations. Should we do it now?

 I will retest with your code merged,  thanks.
