Arnd Bergmann 67f5c6541c vmw_vsock: bypass false-positive Wnonnull warning with gcc-16
[ Upstream commit e25dbf561e ]

The gcc-16.0.1 snapshot produces a false-positive warning that turns
into a build failure with CONFIG_WERROR:

In file included from arch/x86/include/asm/string.h:6,
                 from net/vmw_vsock/vmci_transport.c:10:
In function 'vmci_transport_packet_init',
    inlined from '__vmci_transport_send_control_pkt.constprop' at net/vmw_vsock/vmci_transport.c:198:2:
arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:150:25: error: argument 2 null where non-null expected because argument 3 is nonzero [-Werror=nonnull]

  164 |                 memcpy(&pkt->u.wait, wait, sizeof(pkt->u.wait));
      |                 ^~~~~~

      |                 ^~~~~~

This seems relatively harmless, and it so far the only instance of this
warning I have found. The __vmci_transport_send_control_pkt function
is called either with wait=NULL or with one of the type values that
pass 'wait' into memcpy() here, but not from the same caller.

Replacing the memcpy with a struct assignment is otherwise the same
but avoids the warning.
