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

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

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