That's a change. It has non-zero risk of breaking (or exposing an
existing, implicit breakage in) some user code, especially given that
user code has been encouraged to write loops testing for -EINVAL in
order to probe the mask size. I didn't see enough benefit from any
of the variants of the last week to compensate for this risk.
