string: fix prototype of memdup()
It doesn't make sense to restrict memdup() to only return char* pointers, especially when it is already defined to accept void*. This makes it uglier to use to e.g. duplicate a struct. Make it return void*, just as kmemdup() does in the kernel (and which our kmemdup() in fact also does). While in here, make a small optimization: memcpy() is defined to return the destination register, so we write this in a way that the compiler may do a tail call.
