Paul DonaldandHauke Mehrtens 1e9da9798a ppp: add memmove fortify and remove MRU patch
memcpy() with overlapping src and dest buffers is an undefined behavior
in C. In the current code, a ConfRej response is generated by copying
input data in-place, where the dest address is lower than the src.
This happens to work in practice because memcpy() forward-copies data,
matching the behavior of memmove() in this case.

However, if FORTIFY_SOURCE or Address Sanitizer is enabled, memcpy()
will detect the overlap at run time and abort the program.

Replace the memcpy() with memmove() to ensure a well-defined behavior.
