Hi!

David Airlie suggested that we could implement new wrappers around
(v)memdup_user() for duplicating user arrays.

This small patch series first implements the two new wrapper functions
memdup_array_user() and vmemdup_array_user(). They calculate the
array-sizes safely, i.e., they return an error in case of an overflow.

It then implements the new wrappers in two components in kernel/ and two
in the drm-subsystem.

In total, there are 18 files in the kernel that use (v)memdup_user() to
duplicate arrays. My plan is to provide patches for the other 14
successively once this series has been merged.


Changes since v2:
- Remove the unlikely() from the overflow-check, since the latter
  already implements one (Dan Carpenter)
- Add the Reviewd-bys for the changes already reviewed in v2

Changes since v1:
- Insert new headers alphabetically ordered
- Remove empty lines in functions' docstrings
- Return -EOVERFLOW instead of -EINVAL from wrapper functions

P.
