kobject: copy env blob in one go

No need to iterate over strings, just copy in one efficient memcpy() call.

Tested:
time perf record "(for f in `seq 1 3000` ; do ip netns add tast$f; done)"
[ perf record: Woken up 10 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 8.224 MB perf.data (~359301 samples) ]
