xen-blkfront: replace kmalloc and then memcpy with kmemdup
The benefits are: * code is cleaner * kmemdup adds additional debugging info useful for tracking the real place where memory was allocated (CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB). Signed-off-by: Mihnea Dobrescu-Balaur <mihneadb@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
