Subject: [PATCH v3] misc: mic: Use memdup_user() as a cleanup

Fix coccicheck warning which recommends to use memdup_user():

drivers/misc/mic/vop/vop_vringh.c:940:14-21: WARNING opportunity for memdup_user
drivers/misc/mic/vop/vop_vringh.c:998:8-15: WARNING opportunity for memdup_user
Generated by: scripts/coccinelle/memdup_user/memdup_user.cocci

I'm not sure if this still valid, maybe warning was fixed already.
In that case sorry for this disturbing noise.

Changelog:
 - v1:
   - Replace kzalloc + copy_from_user by memdup_user
 - v2:
   - Sorry for this disturb
   - Fix warning: label done defined but not used
     Introduced by previous commit misc: mic: Use memdup_user() as a cleanup
     drivers/misc/mic/vop/vop_vringh.c:1001:1: warning: label 'done' defined but not used [-Wunused-label]
