[lustre-devel] [PATCH] staging/lustre/llite: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating its implementation

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring at users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2016 11:30:57 +0200

Reuse existing functionality from memdup_user() instead of keeping
duplicate source code.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
