With the addition of -fstrict-flex-arrays=3, struct sha256_state's
trailing array is no longer ignored by CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE:

struct sha256_state {
        u32 state[SHA256_DIGEST_SIZE / 4];
        u64 count;
        u8 buf[SHA256_BLOCK_SIZE];
};

This means that the memcpy() calls with "buf" as a destination in
sha256.c's code will attempt to perform run-time bounds checking, which
could lead to calling missing functions, specifically a potential
WARN_ONCE, which isn't callable from purgatory.

Reading https://lore.kernel.org/202305301658.BF6ECF65C@keescook/ was
some good additional context.
