3.16.7-ckt10 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini at redhat.com>

commit f2a81036516e2b97c07c49dd6d51d36bfa43593d upstream.

The two kmemdup invocations can be unified.  I find that the new
placement of the comment makes it easier to see what happens.
