powerpc: don't use direct assignation during early boot.
In kernel/cputable.c, explicitly use memcpy() instead of *y = *x; This will allow GCC to replace it with __memcpy() when KASAN is selected. Acked-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
