* Reuse existing functionality from memdup_user() instead of keeping
duplicate source code.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
* The local variable "ret" will be set to an appropriate value a bit later.
Thus omit the explicit initialisation at the beginning.

v2: The desired changes were put into a single patch instead of
distributing them over two update steps.
