Staging: rtl8712: Use memdup_user() instead of copy_from_user()

Author: Cristina Opriceana <cristina.opriceana@gmail.com> Use memdup_user() to avoid its duplicated implementation and simplify code. memdup_user() uses GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC, which is valid because copy_from_user() might sleep and it’s useless to make the allocation atomic.
