[PATCH v2] staging: r8188eu: Use strndup_user instead of kmalloc/copy_from_user

[Jiapeng Chong]

This code assumes that the user is going to give us a NULL terminated
string which is not necessarily true.  The original code was buggy too.

Fix following coccicheck warning:

./drivers/staging/r8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c:4253:8-15: WARNING
opportunity for memdup_user.
