[PATCH 00/32] Introduce flexible array struct memcpy() helpers

Hi,

This is the next phase of memcpy() buffer bounds checking[1], which
starts by adding a new set of helpers to address common code patterns
that result in memcpy() usage that can't be easily verified by the
compiler (i.e. dynamic bounds due to flexible arrays). The runtime WARN
from memcpy has been posted before, but now there's more context around
alternatives for refactoring false positives, etc.

The core of this series is patches 2 (flex_array.h), 3 (flex_array
KUnit), and 4 (runtime memcpy WARN). Patch 1 is a fix to land before 4
(and I can send separately), and everything else are examples of what the
conversions look like for one of the helpers, mem_to_flex_dup(). These
will need to land via their respective trees, but they all depend on
patch 2, which I'm hoping to land in the coming merge window.

I'm happy to also point out that the conversions (patches 5+) are actually
a net reduction in lines of code:

Anyway, please let me know what you think. And apologies in advance
if this is spammy; the CC list got rather large due to the "treewide"
nature of the example conversions.
