[PATCH 1/2] Coccinelle: extend memdup_user transformation with GFP_USER

From: Denis Efremov
Date: Sat May 30 2020 - 16:54:32 EST


Match GFP_USER allocations with memdup_user.cocci rule.
Commit 6c2c97a24f09 ("memdup_user(): switch to GFP_USER") switched
memdup_user() from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_USER. In most cases it is still
a good idea to use memdup_user() for GFP_KERNEL allocations. The
motivation behind altering memdup_user() to GFP_USER is here:
