Subject: [PATCH v2] misc: fastrpc: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating
 its implementation

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

  Generated by: scripts/coccinelle/api/memdup_user.cocci

* Adjust a data type conversion for a function call parameter.

Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

v2:
A data type conversion should still be applied for one function call parameter.
