[PATCH] Staging: lustre: Use kmemdup() instead of kzalloc and memcpy

[Shreeya Patel <shreeya.patel23498@xxxxxxxxx>]

Replace calls to kzalloc or kmalloc followed by a memcpy with
a direct call to kmemdup to shorten the code.

The Coccinelle semantic patch used to make this change is as follows:
@@
expression from,to,size,flag;
statement S;
@@

-  to = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(size,flag);
+  to = kmemdup(from,size,flag);
   if (to==NULL || ...) S
-  memcpy(to, from, size);
