Subject: [PATCH] 9p/xen: do not memcpy header into req->rc

while 'h' is packed and can be assumed to match the request payload,
req->rc is a struct p9_fcall which is not packed and that memcpy
could be wrong.

Fix this by copying each fields individually instead.

Follow up from the previous xen patch's review.

This isn't an immediate fix so I don't think this one should be rushed
in with the rest of the overflow fixes -- I'll let this sit a bit in
-next after reviews.
