PATCH 1/1 kconfig:mconf: avoid unneeded memcpy

In function update_text we assign jump key label per page (1)-(9) cycled, and use three space char as the header after k exceed JUMP_NB.

We don't need to call memcpy with header of three space char, because it changes nothing, it just copy what was there.

I don't think we need to clear old jump key label in current implementation, I can't image out any case which a search result could change its jump key label, unless user search new string, but then we will re-assign jump key label, and it will be fix after that.

Hi all, please ignore this patch.

I image out that we need to clear old jump label when we run make menuconfig in a x11 terminal with high resolution that could show more than 9 item in one page.

Sorry.
