The changes are similar to those given in the commit 19b070fefd0d ("VMCI: Fix memcpy() run-time warning in dg_dispatch_as_host()"). Fix filling of the msg and msg_payload in dg_info struct, which prevents a possible "detected field-spanning write" of memcpy warning that is issued by the tracking mechanism __fortify_memcpy_chk.
