The memcpy() in the ip_tunnel_info_opts_set() causes
a string.h fortification warning, with at least gcc-13:

    In function 'fortify_memcpy_chk',
        inlined from 'ip_tunnel_info_opts_set' at include/net/ip_tunnels.h:619:3,
        inlined from 'pfcp_encap_recv' at drivers/net/pfcp.c:84:2:
    include/linux/fortify-string.h:553:25: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning]
      553 |                         __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);

As far as I can tell, the warning is caused by the
ambiguity of the union, but what I noticed is that
it also seems to copy a buffer to itself, as 'md'
is initialized to tun_dst->u.tun_info as well.

Is this intentional?
