Subject: [PATCH v3 1/5] string.h: add array-wrappers for (v)memdup_user()

Currently, user array duplications are sometimes done without an
overflow check. Sometimes the checks are done manually; sometimes the
array size is calculated with array_size() and sometimes by calculating
n * size directly in code.

Introduce wrappers for arrays for memdup_user() and vmemdup_user() to
provide a standardized and safe way for duplicating user arrays.

This is both for new code as well as replacing usage of (v)memdup_user()
in existing code that uses, e.g., n * size to calculate array sizes.
