There are two bug in this code:
1) If count is zero, then it will lead to a NULL dereference. The
kmalloc() will successfully allocate zero bytes and the test for
"if (buf[0] == '-')" will read beyond the end of the zero size buffer
and Oops.
2) The code does not ensure that the user's string is properly NUL
terminated which could lead to a read overflow.

v2: At first I tried to use strndup_user() but that only accepts NUL
terminated strings and the user string is normally not terminated.
