Linus recently merged [1] the wrapper functions memdup_array_user() and
vmemdup_array_user() in include/linux/string.h for Kernel v6.7

I am currently adding them to all places where (v)memdup_user() had been
used to copy arrays.

The wrapper is different to the wrapped functions only in that it might
return -EOVERFLOW. So this new error code might get pushed up to
userspace. I hope this is fine.

Applied to kvm-x86 generic. Claudio (or anyone else from s390), holler if
you want to take the s390 patch through the s390 tree.

I think this is fine via your tree.

Feel free to add
