[PULL 9/9] checkpatch: Do not allow deprecated g_memdup()


From: Laurent Vivier
Subject: [PULL 9/9] checkpatch: Do not allow deprecated g_memdup()
Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2021 21:10:19 +0100

From: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd@redhat.com>

g_memdup() is insecure and as been deprecated in GLib 2.68.
QEMU provides the safely equivalent g_memdup2() wrapper.

Do not allow more g_memdup() calls in the repository, provide
a hint to use g_memdup2().
