Rearranged it to look lik this?

static ssize_t ima_write_active(struct file *filp,
                                 const char __user *buf,
                                 size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
{
         struct ima_namespace *ns = &init_ima_ns;
         unsigned int active;
         char *kbuf;
         int err;

         if (ns_is_active(ns))
                 return -EBUSY;

         /* accepting '1\n' and '1\0' and no partial writes */
         if (count >= 3 || *ppos != 0)
                 return -EINVAL;

         kbuf = memdup_user_nul(buf, count);
         if (IS_ERR(kbuf))
                 return PTR_ERR(kbuf);

         err = kstrtouint(kbuf, 10, &active);
         kfree(kbuf);
         if (err)
                 return err;

         if (active != 1)
                 return -EINVAL;

         atomic_set(&ns->active, 1);
         return count;
