kstrdup kernel primitive can be used to replace kmalloc followed by
string copy. This was reported by coccinelle tool.

v1: Replace kmalloc followed by memcpy with kmemdup. Based on
review comments from Alan Cox, this could better be done
using kstrdup.
v2: Replace kmalloc followed by memcpy by kstrdup in this case
as it essentially is a string copy.Review comment recieved
questioning the return value in case of error. Error value
returned should be what the calling function is expecting.
v3: Retain the original error value returned to the calling
function if kstrdup() fails.
