Subject: media: siano: Use kmemdup instead of duplicating its function
Author:  Wen Yang <wen.yang99@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:    Thu Dec 6 07:29:10 2018 -0500

kmemdup has implemented the function that kmalloc() + memcpy().
We prefer to kmemdup rather than code opened implementation.

This issue was detected with the help of coccinelle.
