Subject: [PATCH][next] ipv4: ip_output.c: Fix out-of-bounds warning in
 ip_copy_addrs()

Fix the following out-of-bounds warning:

    In function 'ip_copy_addrs',
        inlined from '__ip_queue_xmit' at net/ipv4/ip_output.c:517:2:
net/ipv4/ip_output.c:449:2: warning: 'memcpy' offset [40, 43] from the object at 'fl' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject 'saddr' with type 'unsigned int' at offset 36 [-Warray-bounds]
      449 |  memcpy(&iph->saddr, &fl4->saddr,
          |  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      450 |         sizeof(fl4->saddr) + sizeof(fl4->daddr));
          |         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The problem is that the original code is trying to copy data into a
couple of struct members adjacent to each other in a single call to
memcpy(). This causes a legitimate compiler warning because memcpy()
overruns the length of &iph->saddr and &fl4->saddr. As these are just
a couple of struct members, fix this by using direct assignments,
instead of memcpy().

This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds
and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy().
