Subject[PATCH v2] drivers/fpga: use standard array-copy function
Date
dfl.c utilizes memdup_user() and array_size() to copy a userspace array.
array_size() will likely never trigger thanks to the preceeding check.
Nevertheless, in the theoretical event that it would, it would return
SIZE_MAX to memdup_user(), resulting in an attempt to allocate huge
amounts of memory.

string.h from the core-api now provides memdup_array_user() which also
performs an overflow check and returns an error-pointer with -EOVERFLOW
to the caller.
As an additional advantage it standardizes how userspace-arrays are
being copied and, thus, makes it more obvious to readers that an array
is being copied.

Replace memdup_user() with memdup_array_user().
