[PATCH i-g-t v2] Fix memory access issue due to variable block scope

[Peter Senna Tschudin <me@petersenna.com>]

This patch fixes the tests gem_exec_capture@many-4k-incremental and
gem_exec_capture@many-4k-zero that are currently failing with an invalid file
descriptor error.

 struct intel_execution_engine2 *
 intel_get_current_engine(struct intel_engine_data *ed)

When intel_get_current_engine is called from the macro
for_each_ctx_cfg_engine(), the variable *ed is defined within a for loop. The
scope of *ed is limited to that loop, leading to access violations when
attempting to access its contents outside the loop.

Before to this patch, intel_get_current_engine() would return an element of *ed
and attempting to use it after the loop ended resulted in undefined behavior.

This patch introduces a memcpy() to copy the contents of ed->current_engine to
a memory area not confined by the loop's scope, ensuring safe access to the
data.

v2: Added 'i-g-t' to the Subject.
