[PATCH] wan-cosa: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating its implementation

[SF Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2016 10:10:12 +0200

Reuse existing functionality from memdup_user() instead of keeping
duplicate source code.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
