Use memdup_user rather than duplicating its implementation
This is a little bit restricted to reduce false positives

The semantic patch that makes this report is available
in scripts/coccinelle/api/memdup_user.cocci.

More information about semantic patching is available at
http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/
