These three functions follow the same pattern. To deduplicate the code,
let's introduce a common help __kstrndup().

Hi Yafang Shao,

Some minor nits from my side.

nit: One blank line is enough.

nit: The local variable buf is now unused, and should be removed from kstrdup().
     Likewise for kstrndup() and kmemdup_nul()

     Flagged by W=1 builds with gcc-13 and clang-18, and Smatch.

Why are you putting __kstrndup in a header file when it's only used
in util.c?

Also, I think this function is actually __kmemdup_nul(), not
__kstrndup().

Ah, will change it.

I missed that. Thanks for pointing it out.

I want to make it always inlined. However, it is not recommended to
define an inline function in a .c file, right ?

Good suggestion. Will use __kmemdup_nul() instead.

I'm not aware of any such recommendation.  Better than putting it in
a .h file that everybody has to look at but nobody uses.

Understood.
