Subject: [PATCH 1/6] misc: fastrpc: Use memdup_user()

From: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@...lux.com>

Switching to memdup_user() overwrites the allocated memory only once,
whereas kzalloc() followed by copy_from_user() initializes the allocated
memory to zero and then immediately overwrites it.

Fixes the following Coccinelle/coccicheck warning reported by
memdup_user.cocci:

	WARNING opportunity for memdup_user
