[PATCH] kernel: debug: memcpy overlaped, use memmove instead of memcpy.

[Chen Gang]

  in memcpy, src and dest are overlaped.
    for default implementaion or some architectures, it is OK.
    but we can not be sure that it is OK for all platforms.
    and in this condition, the performance are not quite important.

  so better to use standard ways: let memmove instead of memcpy.
