Subject: [PATCH v2] kmsan: fix memcpy tests

Recent Clang changes may cause it to delete calls of memcpy(), if the
source is an uninitialized volatile local.
This happens because passing a pointer to a volatile local into memcpy()
discards the volatile qualifier, giving the compiler a free hand to
optimize the memcpy() call away.

Use OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() to hide the uninitialized var from the
too-smart compiler.
