[PATCH v1 1/3] drm/admgpu: replace kmalloc() and memcpy() with kmemdup()

The static analyser tool gave the following advice:

./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_virt.c:1266:7-14: WARNING opportunity for kmemdup

 → 1266         tmp = kmalloc(used_size, GFP_KERNEL);
   1267         if (!tmp)
   1268                 return -ENOMEM;
   1269
 → 1270         memcpy(tmp, &host_telemetry->body.error_count, used_size);

Replacing kmalloc() + memcpy() with kmemdump() doesn't change semantics.
Original code works without fault, so this is not a bug fix but proposed improvement.
