#1329737 — [PATCH 3.2 63/87] ALSA: seq: Fix snd_seq_call_port_info_ioctl in compat mode

3.2.77-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicolas Boichat <drinkcat@chromium.org>

commit 9586495dc3011a80602329094e746dbce16cb1f1 upstream.

This reverts one hunk of
commit ef44a1ec6eee ("ALSA: sound/core: use memdup_user()"), which
replaced a number of kmalloc followed by memcpy with memdup calls.

In this case, we are copying from a struct snd_seq_port_info32 to a
struct snd_seq_port_info, but the latter is 4 bytes longer than the
32-bit version, so we need to separate kmalloc and copy calls.

Fixes: ef44a1ec6eee ('ALSA: sound/core: use memdup_user()')
