not sure if it's worth it, but if len == sz - 1 then memmove is not
necessary. Again, don't know if worth it, as it's probably not going
to be a common case.

We should probably comply with an updated coding style ([0]) and use
an allowlist name for this?

I feel like we had a discussion about ARG_CONST_SIZE vs
ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO before, maybe on some different thread.
Basically, this >0 restriction was a major nuisance for
bpf_perf_event_output() cases, so much that we changed it to _OR_ZERO.
In practice, while it might never be the case that we have sz == 0
passed into the function, having to prove this to the verifier is a
PITA. Unless there is a very strong reason not to, let's mark this as
ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO and handle sz == 0 case as a noop?
