ptr comes from raw_cmd_copyin and it should be ok to use memcpy.

Jens, could you please take this one to your 5.9 branch?

It would be nice to add lkml links with discussion on the issue or
https://www.nccgroup.com/us/about-us/newsroom-and-events/blog/2019/october/padding-the-struct-how-a-compiler-optimization-can-disclose-stack-memory/
in addition to pahole output.
