[Intel-wired-lan] [next PATCH S26 11/12] i40e: avoid large memcpy by assigning struct

[Deepthi Kavalur]

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller at intel.com>

Assign the i40e_pf structure directly instead of using a large memcpy,
which avoids a sparse warning and lets the compiler optimize the copy
since it knows the size of the structure in advance.
