From: Philipp Stanner <pstanner@xxxxxxxxxx> ioctl.c utilizes memdup_user() to copy a userspace array. An overflow check is performed manually before the function's invocation. The new function memdup_array_user() standardizes copying userspace arrays, thus, improving readability by making it more clear that an array is being copied. Additionally, it also performs an overflow check. Remove the (now redundant) manual overflow-check and replace memdup_user() with memdup_array_user(). In addition, improve the grammar of the comment above memdup_array_user().

It's a little early as the current merge window isn't over yet, but I haven't had any problems with it and I feel it's better to focus on other series, so I'll send this now.
