[PATCH] string.h: un-fortify memcpy_and_pad

From: Martin Wilck
Date: Wed Sep 06 2017 - 08:37:59 EST


The way I'd implemented the new helper memcpy_and_pad with
__FORTIFY_INLINE caused compiler warnings for certain kernel
configurations.

This helper is only used in a single place at this time, and thus
doesn't benefit much from fortification. So simplify the code
by dropping fortification support for now.

Fixes: 01f33c336e2d "string.h: add memcpy_and_pad()"
