talloc_memdup is meant to copy just an anonymous region of memory.

I would call your new function talloc_dup() instead.
That would make it clear you are duplicating a full talloc context,
although I guess that may let people wonder if you also should become
parent (via references) of the original talloc context children or not.

This would have to be clearly documented.

Simo.
