lsm: convert security_setselfattr() to use memdup_user()
As suggested by the kernel test robot, memdup_user() is a better option than the combo of kmalloc()/copy_from_user(). Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202310270805.2ArE52i5-lkp@intel.com/ Acked-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>
