Subject: [PATCH] net/zxdh: replace memcpy with structure assignment

This patch replaces rte_memcpy() with direct structure assignment for
copying struct zxdh_flow, which is a good cleanup as structure assignment
is more idiomatic and potentially more efficient for small structures.

Does this handle the alignment properly? If dh_flow is not properly
aligned for the structure type, could the dereference *dh_flow cause
undefined behavior? The original rte_memcpy() would handle unaligned
pointers safely.

Can struct zxdh_flow be confirmed to have no padding bytes that might
contain uninitialized data? With memcpy, the padding bytes are copied
directly, but with structure assignment, the compiler might not copy
padding, which could be a concern if the structure is later serialized
or hashed.
