User-space shouldn't look up the modifier array when the modifier flag is missing, but at the moment no docs make this clear (working on it). Right now the modifier array is pre-filled with zeroes, aka. LINEAR. Instead, pre-fill with INVALID to avoid footguns.
This is a uAPI change, but OTOH any user-space which looks up the modifier array without checking the flag is broken already, so should be fine.

Isn't this going to break the test where we pass the get getfb2 result back into addfb2?
Shouldn't be the case, since the kernel will ignore modifiers if the flag isn't set.
