While testing for places where zero-sized destinations were still showing
up in the kernel, sock_copy() and inet_reqsk_clone() were found, which
are using very specific memcpy() offsets for both avoiding a portion of
struct sock, and copying beyond the end of it (since struct sock is really
just a common header before the protocol-specific allocation). Instead
of trying to unravel this historical lack of container_of(), just switch
to unsafe_memcpy(), since that's effectively what was happening already
(memcpy() wasn't checking 0-sized destinations while the code base was
being converted away from fake flexible arrays).
Avoid the following false positive warning with future changes to
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE:
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 3068) of destination "&nsk->__sk_common.skc_dontcopy_end" at net/core/sock.c:2057 (size 0)

v2- add inet_reqsk_clone() instance too
v1- https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240216204423.work.066-kees@kernel.org/
