[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/util: deduplicate code in {kstrdup,kstrndup,kmemdup_nul}
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-util-deduplicate-code-in-kstrdupkstrndupkmemdup_nul.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

These three functions follow the same pattern.  To deduplicate the code,
let's introduce a common helper __kmemdup_nul().
