Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Avoid memcpy() run-time warning for struct sockaddr overflows

The 'nfs_server' and 'mount_server' structures include a union of
'struct sockaddr' (with the older 16 bytes max address size) and
'struct sockaddr_storage' which is large enough to hold all the supported
sa_family types (128 bytes max size). The runtime memcpy() buffer overflow
checker is seeing attempts to write beyond the 16 bytes as an overflow,
but the actual expected size is that of 'struct sockaddr_storage'. Adjust
the pointers to the correct union member. Avoids this false positive
run-time warning under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE:

  memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 28) of single field "&ctx->nfs_server.address" at fs/nfs/namespace.c:178 (size 16)
