Syzbot reported a warning in u32_init_knode() [1].

Similar to commit 7cba18332e36 ("net: sched: cls_u32: Avoid memcpy()
false-positive warning") which addressed the same issue in u32_change(),
use unsafe_memcpy() in u32_init_knode() to work around the compiler's
inability to see into composite flexible array structs.

This silences the false-positive reported by syzbot:

  memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 32) of single field
  "&new->sel" at net/sched/cls_u32.c:855 (size 16)

Since the memory is correctly allocated with kzalloc_flex() using
s->nkeys, this is purely a false positive and does not need a Fixes tag.

FWIIW, Made-with is a new tag to me, I would have expected Assisted-by.

That notwithstanding, this looks good to me.
