Subject: [PATCH] usb: Use memdup_user to reuse the code

From: Rahul Pathak <rpathak@...teon.com>

Fixing coccicheck warning which recommends to use memdup_user instead
to reimplement its code, using memdup_user simplifies the code

./drivers/usb/core/devio.c:1398:11-18: WARNING opportunity for memdup_user
