This doesn't fix anything and the Fixes: line is not appropriate.

This is a very poor use of ternary ?: code.
This is much more readable for humans.

	if (!ukey || keylen < MINKEYBLOBSIZE || keylen > KBLOBBUFSIZE)
		return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);

	return memdup_user(ukey, keylen);

The compiler will produce the same code.

And here you reverse the form of the earlier block.
Please be consistent and use this style:

	if (!uapqns || nr_apqns <= 0)
		return NULL;

	return memdup_user(uapqns, nr_apqns * sizeof(struct pkey_apqn));
