Subject: Potentially interesting memcpy/memset/memmove calls

Hiya!

Kees asked me to develop a query to detect calls where the destinations could need some attention as part of his initiative to harden memcpy calls.

Regarding:
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210727205855.411487-1-keescook@chromium.org/)

As a result, I created a CodeQL query to detect some questionable instances. This query identifies a struct having a flexible array member when it is supplied as a reference to memcpy/memmove/memset's first argument. The query was performed on 5.13.11.
I'm now compiling a database with `make allmodconfig` to see if it finds anything else, but you can see the preliminary findings below.
