The simple_write_to_buffer() function will succeed if even a single
byte is initialized. However we need to initialize the whole buffer
to prevent information leaks. Just use memdup_user().

This code has a check for "if (rc != len) {" so it will fail if the
simple_write_to_buffer() does not completely fill the buffer. In
particular it will fail if "*ppos != 0". Although this code works, it is
more complicated than necessary. Just use strndup_user() instead.

NAK. This one is buggy. strndup_user() is too strict. This will break
stuff.
