From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

Use kstrdup when the goal of an allocation is copy a string into the
allocated region.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression from,to;
expression flag,E1,E2;
statement S;
@@

- to = kmalloc(strlen(from) + 1,flag);
+ to = kstrdup(from, flag);
... when != (from = E1 | to = E1 )
if (to==NULL || ...) S
... when != (from = E2 | to = E2 )
- strcpy(to, from);
// </smpl>
