[PATCH v2 0/3] hw/cxl: Add fixes in maintenance, PPR and event records

[shiju.jose]

From: Shiju Jose <shiju.jose@huawei.com>

Add few fixes in CXL maintenance, PPR and event records generation.

1. In cxl_create_mem_sparing_event_records(), replace strncpy with memcpy
to solve coverity warning (CID 1645325) to copy the entire component ID
data, which is 16 bytes data, not a string.

2. In cxl_maintenance_insert(),
 - replace strncpy with memcpy to copy full data because component ID is
   16 bytes data, not a string.
 - remove memset which is not required.

3. In cxl_perform_ppr(), remove and free the maintenance entry from QLIST
if match is found and PPR operation is performed.

4. Component ID in CXL events is 16 bytes data, not a string, but event
record generation copy 15 bytes only from the qmp "component-id" field
using strncpy. Replace strncpy with memcpy and copy the entire component
ID data.

Changes:
v1 -> v2
1. Fix for the feedback from Jonathan.
  - Modified title of patch[1] & patch[3].
  - Added fixes tags to all 3 patche's header.

[PATCH v2 1/3] hw/cxl: Fix handling of component ID to not assume it is a string

[shiju.jose]

From: Shiju Jose <shiju.jose@huawei.com>

Add following fixes,
1. Coverity reports a warning (CID 1645325) for use of strncpy() in
handling of component ID. In cxl_create_mem_sparing_event_records(),
fix handling of component ID to not assume it is a string by replacing
strncpy with memcpy to solve this warning and copy the entire component
ID data, which is 16 bytes.

2. In cxl_maintenance_insert(),
 - replace strncpy with memcpy to copy full data because component ID,
