Subject: [PATCH 2/2] kmsan: prevent optimizations in memcpy tests

Clang 18 learned to optimize away memcpy() calls of small uninitialized
scalar values. To ensure that memcpy tests in kmsan_test.c still perform
calls to memcpy() (which KMSAN replaces with __msan_memcpy()), declare a
separate memcpy_noinline() function with volatile parameters, which
won't be optimized.

Also retire DO_NOT_OPTIMIZE(), as memcpy_noinline() is apparently
enough.
