Smatch complains that this is copying stack data when then intent was
to copy fd.key.  The way I have written it matches how hfsplus_readdir()
is implemented.

I tried to test this, but to reach the memcpy() you would need to make
one of the calls to filldir() fail and I don't know how to do that.  I
think that in the original code this would cause a crash when we call
hfs_find_exit()
