The extra local variable can be avoided if you structure the code
slightly differently.

Also calling hibernation_e820_mismatch() before checking rdr->magic
may not be useful at all.

So what about:

if (rdr->magic != RESTORE_MAGIC)
return -EINVAL;

if (hibernation_e820_mismatch(rdr->e820_digest))
return -ENODEV;

return 0;
