[PULL 9/9] checkpatch: Do not allow deprecated g_memdup()

[Laurent Vivier <laurent@vivier.eu>]

From: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd@redhat.com>

g_memdup() is insecure and as been deprecated in GLib 2.68.
QEMU provides the safely equivalent g_memdup2() wrapper.

Do not allow more g_memdup() calls in the repository, provide
a hint to use g_memdup2().
