[PATCH 1/5] block-cciss: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating its implementation

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2016 22:10:29 +0200

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

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Return directly if this copy operation failed.
