[PATCH 1/4] scsi: hpsa: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating its implementation

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

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2018 21:19:52 +0100

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

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Return directly after this function call failed at the beginning.
