riscv: Avoid fortify warning in syscall_get_arguments()

Browse Source 
When building with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y and W=1, there is a warning
because of the memcpy() in syscall_get_arguments():

  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

The fortified memcpy() routine enforces that the source is not overread
and the destination is not overwritten if the size of either field and
the size of the copy are known at compile time. The memcpy() in
syscall_get_arguments() intentionally overreads from a1 to a5 in
'struct pt_regs' but this is bigger than the size of a1.

Normally, this could be solved by wrapping a1 through a5 with
struct_group() but there was already a struct_group() applied to these
members in commit bba547810c66 ("riscv: tracing: Fix
__write_overflow_field in ftrace_partial_regs()").

Just avoid memcpy() altogether and write the copying of args from regs
manually, which clears up the warning at the expense of three extra
lines of code.
