Subject: [PATCH] sock: Use unsafe_memcpy() for sock_copy()

While testing for places where zero-sized destinations were still
showing up in the kernel, sock_copy() was found, which is using very
specific memcpy() offsets for both avoiding a portion of struct sock,
and copying beyond the end of it (since struct sock is really just a
common header before the protocol-specific allocation). Instead of
trying to unravel this historical lack of container_of(), just switch
to unsafe_memcpy(), since that's effectively what was happening already
(memcpy() wasn't checking 0-sized destinations while the code base was
being converted away from fake flexible arrays).

Avoid the following false positive warning with future changes to
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE:

  memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 3068) of destination "&nsk->__sk_common.skc_dontcopy_end" at net/core/sock.c:2057 (size 0)
