vhost: remove rte_memcpy from header copy

First of all, rte_memcpy() is mostly useful for copying big packets
by leveraging hardware advanced instructions like AVX. But for virtio
net hdr, which is 12 bytes at most, invoking rte_memcpy() will not
introduce any performance boost.

And, to my suprise, rte_memcpy() is VERY huge. Since rte_memcpy()
is inlined, it increases the binary code size linearly every time
we call it at a different place. Replacing the two rte_memcpy()
with directly copy saves nearly 12K bytes of code size!
