[PATCH 6.1.y 1/4] lib/string_helpers: Add kstrdup_and_replace() helper

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>

[ Upstream commit 045ad46441a1cf2ff358af0126f8c57f337804fa ]

Duplicate a NULL-terminated string and replace all occurrences of
the old character with a new one. In other words, provide functionality
of kstrdup() + strreplace().
