Li Zefan 610a77e04a memdup_user(): introduce
I notice there are many places doing copy_from_user() which follows
kmalloc():

        dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!dst)
                return -ENOMEM;
        if (copy_from_user(dst, src, len)) {
		kfree(dst);
		return -EFAULT
	}

memdup_user() is a wrapper of the above code.  With this new function, we
don't have to write 'len' twice, which can lead to typos/mistakes.  It
also produces smaller code and kernel text.

A quick grep shows 250+ places where memdup_user() *may* be used.  I'll
prepare a patchset to do this conversion.
