Denis Efremov 547ade42ce coccinelle: api: extend memdup_user transformation with GFP_USER
Match GFP_USER and optional __GFP_NOWARN allocations with
memdup_user.cocci rule.
Commit 6c2c97a24f ("memdup_user(): switch to GFP_USER") switched
memdup_user() from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_USER. In almost all cases it
is still a good idea to recommend memdup_user() for GFP_KERNEL
allocations. The motivation behind altering memdup_user() to GFP_USER:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
