[PATCH RESEND 1/2] stm class: Replace kmalloc + copy_from_user with memdup_user

[Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>]

Replace kmalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with memdup_user() to
simplify and improve stm_char_write().

Allocate and copy only 'count' bytes instead of 'count + 1' since the
extra byte is unused.
