Subject: [PATCH v4 1/8] mm/util: Introduce kmemdup_array() to duplicate an array

Introduce function kmemdup_array(), that will copy `n` number of
elements from a given array `src` to `dst`.

On success, kmemdup_array() returns 0 and copy the elements from `src`
to newly allocated array `dst`, it also stores number of elements
copied from `src` array to `dst_count` parameter. On failure, this
returns a negative integer value containing the error value.
