Subject: [PATCH] crypto: pcbc - remove bogus memcpy()s with src == dest

The memcpy()s in the PCBC implementation use walk->iv as both the source and destination, which has undefined behavior. These memcpy()'s are actually unneeded, because walk->iv is already used to hold the previous plaintext block XOR'd with the previous ciphertext block. Thus, walk->iv is already updated to its final value.

So remove the broken and unnecessary memcpy()s.
