Per https://discourse.gnome.org/t/port-your-module-from-g-memdup-to-g-memdup2-now/5538

  The old API took the size of the memory to duplicate as a guint,
  whereas most memory functions take memory sizes as a gsize. This
  made it easy to accidentally pass a gsize to g_memdup(). For large
  values, that would lead to a silent truncation of the size from 64
  to 32 bits, and result in a heap area being returned which is
  significantly smaller than what the caller expects. This can likely
  be exploited in various modules to cause a heap buffer overflow.

Replace g_memdup() by the safer g_memdup2() wrapper.

That's Ok, trivial change.

src->size is actually just 16 bit (fsdev/file-op-9p.h):

struct V9fsPath {
    uint16_t size;
    char *data;
};

Should (still) be Ok as well as V9fsPath is about file system pathes which are 
currently limited to 4k (PATH_MAX).
