This is doing two things so I suggest sending two patches instead.
However, for the UUID part, I think it works fine if we get NULL (and I
think kmemdup() issues warning too).

There are probably not needed either since the "fix" here is for pretty
rare case of running out of memory. I think there is not even a NULL
pointer dereference because UUID is optional.
