After that the 'len' field of copied structure being compared with some constant value (64 or 8). However, if 'memcpy_from_msg' returns an error, we will compare some uninitialized memory. This triggers 'uninit-value' issue. This patch will add 'memcpy_from_msg' possible errors processing to avoid uninit-value issue. Tested via syzkaller
