Replace a couple of calls to memcpy() with simple assignments in order
to fix the following out-of-bounds warning:
drivers/iommu/intel/svm.c:1198:4: warning: 'memcpy' offset [25, 32] from
the object at 'desc' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject
'qw2' with type 'long long unsigned int' at offset 16 [-Warray-bounds]
The problem is that the original code is trying to copy data into a
couple of struct members adjacent to each other in a single call to
memcpy(). This causes a legitimate compiler warning because memcpy()
overruns the length of &desc.qw2 and &resp.qw2, respectively.
This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds
and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
