m68knommu: fix memcpy() out of bounds warning in get_user()
Newer versions of gcc are giving warnings in the non-MMU m68k version
of the get_user() macro:
./arch/m68k/include/asm/string.h:72:25: warning: ‘__builtin_memcpy’ forming offset [3, 4] is out of the bounds [0, 2] of object ‘__gu_val’ with type ‘short unsigned int’ [-Warray-bounds]
The warnings are generated when smaller sized variables are used as the
result of user space pointers to larger values. For example a
short/2-byte variable stores the result of a user space int (4-byte)
pointer. The warning is in the 8-byte branch of get_user() - even
though that branch is not the taken branch in the warning cases.
Refactor the 8-byte branch of get_user() so that it uses a correctly
formed union type to read and write the source and destination objects.
Keep using the memcpy() just in case the user space pointer is not
naturaly aligned (not required for ColdFire, but needed for early
68000).
