To work around a misbehavior of the compiler's ability to see into
composite flexible array structs (as detailed in the coming memcpy()
hardening series[1]), split the memcpy() of the header and the payload
so no false positive run-time overflow warning will be generated.

There is a spurious '+' here............................................^^^

HUnh. Well. I learned a new C-ism today. A leading "+" is just accepted.
I build-tested this, and it was happy. I just double-checked, and sure
enough, it is actually parsing that line. I will send a v2. Thanks for
catching that! ... That's such a weird typo we don't even have a
checkpatch rule for it. :P
