As observed by Philippe, the multifd_ram_unfill_packet() function
currently leaves the MultiFDPacket structure with mixed
endianness. This is harmless, but ultimately not very clean. Aside
from that, the packet is also written to on the recv side to ensure
the ramblock name is null-terminated.

Stop touching the received packet and do the necessary work using
stack variables instead.

While here tweak the error strings and fix the space before
semicolons. Also remove the "100 times bigger" comment because it's
just one possible explanation for a size mismatch and it doesn't even
match the code.

This one is leaked?

IMHO the "temp var for endianess" is better justified than this specific
one, where I think always null-terminating the packet->ramblock[] doesn't
sound too bad - it makes sure all future ref to packet->ramblock is safe.

Ok, I can drop this part.

OTOH we can make MultiFDPacket_t const to be sure we don't alter it:
