Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: Fix heap overflow in WHITEHEAT_GET_DTR_RTS

This looks like it's harmless, as both the source and the destinations are
currently the same allocation size (4 bytes) and don't use their padding,
but if anything were to ever be added after the "mcr" member in "struct
whiteheat_private", it would be overwritten. The structs both have a
single u8 "mcr" member, but are 4 bytes in padded size. The memcpy()
destination was explicitly targeting the u8 member (size 1) with the
length of the whole structure (size 4), triggering the memcpy buffer
overflow warning:

Expand the memcpy() to the entire structure, though perhaps the correct
solution is to mark all the USB command structures as "__packed".
