Subject: [PATCH] dm: fix copying after src array boundaries

The blammed commit copied to argv the size of the reallocated argv,
instead of the size of the old_argv, thus reading and copying from
past the old_argv allocated memory.

Following BUG_ON was hit:

Fix it by copying the size of src, and not the size of dst, as it was.
