How do you think about to fix a questionable memory leak
by using the function “memdup_user” instead?
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.8-rc1/source/mm/util.c#L185

Would you like to try a corresponding command out once more on source files
of a software like “Linux next-20240125”?
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.8-rc1/source/scripts/coccinelle/api/memdup_user.cocci#L2

make COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/api/memdup_user.cocci M=drivers/platform/x86/amd/pmf/ MODE=patch coccicheck
