kernel/fork: convert vma assignment to a memcpy
Patch series "introduce vm_flags modifier functions", v4. This patchset was originally published as a part of per-VMA locking [1] and was split after suggestion that it's viable on its own and to facilitate the review process. It is now a preprequisite for the next version of per-VMA lock patchset, which reuses vm_flags modifier functions to lock the VMA when vm_flags are being updated. VMA vm_flags modifications are usually done under exclusive mmap_lock protection because this attrubute affects other decisions like VMA merging or splitting and races should be prevented. Introduce vm_flags modifier functions to enforce correct locking. This patch (of 7): Convert vma assignment in vm_area_dup() to a memcpy() to prevent compiler errors when we add a const modifier to vma->vm_flags.
