Subject: [PATCH 2/7] AGPGART: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating its
 implementation

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

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

* Try this copy operation before allocating memory for the local
  variable "ksegment".
