[PATCH 1/2] VMCI: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating its implementation

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2018 16:40:29 +0100

* Reuse existing functionality from memdup_user() instead of keeping
  duplicate source code.

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Return directly after this function call failed at the beginning.

* Delete the label "out" which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
