vmw_vsock: bypass false-positive Wnonnull warning with gcc-16
[ Upstream commit e25dbf561e03c0c5e36228e3b8b784392819ce85 ]
The gcc-16.0.1 snapshot produces a false-positive warning that turns
into a build failure with CONFIG_WERROR:
In file included from arch/x86/include/asm/string.h:6,
from net/vmw_vsock/vmci_transport.c:10:
In function 'vmci_transport_packet_init',
inlined from '__vmci_transport_send_control_pkt.constprop' at net/vmw_vsock/vmci_transport.c:198:2:

| ^~~~~~
This seems relatively harmless, and it so far the only instance of this
warning I have found. The __vmci_transport_send_control_pkt function
is called either with wait=NULL or with one of the type values that
pass 'wait' into memcpy() here, but not from the same caller.
Replacing the memcpy with a struct assignment is otherwise the same
but avoids the warning.
