ovl: Use "buf" flexible array for memcpy() destination

commit cf8aa9bf97cadf85745506c6a3e244b22c268d63 upstream.

The "buf" flexible array needs to be the memcpy() destination to avoid
false positive run-time warning from the recent FORTIFY_SOURCE
hardening:

  memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 93) of single field "&fh->fb"
  at fs/overlayfs/export.c:799 (size 21)
