Virtualization - Aug 2016 - [PATCH] virtio-gpu: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating its implementation

From: Markus Elfring <elfring at users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2016 22:35:14 +0200

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

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
