Patch tests that memcpy from nullptr is not treated as UB and is not optimized 
out when -fms-kernel is provided, because null pointer is a valid address in 
kernel space.

Patch tests that memcpy from nullptr is not treated as UB and is not
optimized out when -fms-kernel is provided, because null pointer is a
valid address in kernel space.
