[ upstream commit 39cdb68c64d8 ]
A memory overlapping copy occurs when deleting a long line. This memory
overlapping copy can cause data corruption when scr_memcpyw is optimized
to memcpy because memcpy does not ensure its behavior if the destination
buffer overlaps with the source buffer. The line buffer is not always
broken, because the memcpy utilizes the hardware acceleration, whose
result is not deterministic.
Fix this problem by using replacing the scr_memcpyw with scr_memmovew.

[ KN: vc_state is not a separate structure in LTS v4.19, v5.4. Adjusted the patch
accordingly by using vc_x instead of state.x for backport. ]
