[v2,06/11] block: sed-opal: split generation of bytestring header and content

Split the header generation from the (normal) memcpy part if a
bytestring is copied into the command buffer. This allows in-place
generation of the bytestring content. For example, copy_from_user may be
used without an intermediate buffer.

It will short circuit and bail out via can_add failing. So even though
you have to go dig to see if the following functions handle the erorr
I think it's slightly cleaner to have a single if (*err) in the deeper functions.
This lest the error back out the call chain instead of having multiple if (*err)
checks earlier in the call chains.

Shouldn't this also return early if we have a pending error?

Except for that this looks fine:
