this memcpy looks so strange, in fact it's merely a pointer dereference,
so I change the parameter's type to refer it more directly,
this could make the memcpy not needed anymore.

in the function nbd_read_stat where nbd_find_request is only once called,
the parameter served should be transformed accordingly.
