Subject[PATCH] lib/string_helpers: Use the given gfp flag when allocating memory
Date
kstrdup_quotable_cmdline() is given a gfp flag that is passed and used for
memory allocation in kstrdup_quotable() just a few lines below.

It looks reasonable to use this gfp value for the buffer allocated and
freed in kstrdup_quotable_cmdline() as well.

Fixes: 0ee931c4e31a ("mm: treewide: remove GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag")

According to what I've found in 5.16, all callers use GFP_KERNEL, so this
patch should be a no-op.
But who knows how it will be used in the future. Better safe than sorry.
