[PATCH v3] kni: fix warning about discarding const qualifier

[Ke Zhang]

The warning info:
warning: passing argument 1 of ‘memcpy’ discards ‘const’
qualifier from pointer target type

Variable dev_addr is done const intentionally in v5.17 to
prevent using it directly. See kernel series [1] for more
information.
