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.
