[PATCH] ide: don't call memcpy with the same source and destination

From: Mikulas Patocka
Date: Fri Apr 14 2017 - 14:35:48 EST


The parisc architecture recently reimplemented the memcpy function and
their reimplementation crashed when source and destination overlapped.

The crash happened in the function ide_complete_cmd where memcpy is called
with the same source and destination pointer. According to the C
specification, memcpy behavior is undefined if the source and destination
range overlaps. This patches fixes the undefined behavior.
