[PATCH 2/8] powerpc/rtas: use memmove for potentially overlapping buffer copy

[Nathan Lynch via B4 Relay <devnull+nathanl.linux.ibm.com@kernel.org>]

From: Nathan Lynch <nathanl@linux.ibm.com>

Using memcpy() isn't safe when buf is identical to rtas_err_buf, which
can happen during boot before slab is up. Full context which may not
be obvious from the diff:

	if (altbuf) {
		buf = altbuf;
	} else {
		buf = rtas_err_buf;
		if (slab_is_available())
			buf = kmalloc(RTAS_ERROR_LOG_MAX, GFP_ATOMIC);
	}
	if (buf)
		memcpy(buf, rtas_err_buf, RTAS_ERROR_LOG_MAX);

This was found by inspection and I'm not aware of it causing problems
in practice. It appears to have been introduced by commit
033ef338b6e0 ("powerpc: Merge rtas.c into arch/powerpc/kernel"); the
old ppc64 version of this code did not have this problem.

Use memmove() instead.
