Subject: [PATCH 1/7] USB-iowarrior: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating
 its implementation

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2016 12:48:27 +0200

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

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
