[PATCH] selftests/user_events: Avoid taking address of packed member in perf_test

[Ankit Khushwaha]

Accessing 'reg.write_index' directly triggers a -Waddress-of-packed-member
warning due to potential unaligned pointer access:

perf_test.c:239:38: warning: taking address of packed member 'write_index'
of class or structure 'user_reg' may result in an unaligned pointer value 
[-Waddress-of-packed-member]
  239 |         ASSERT_NE(-1, write(self->data_fd, &reg.write_index,
      |                                             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Use memcpy() instead to safely copy the value and avoid unaligned pointer
access across architectures.
