Nicolas Pitre ff5fdafc9e ARM: 8745/1: get rid of __memzero()
The __memzero assembly code is almost identical to memset's except for
two orr instructions. The runtime performance of __memset(p, n) and
memset(p, 0, n) is accordingly almost identical.

However, the memset() macro used to guard against a zero length and to
call __memzero at compile time when the fill value is a constant zero
interferes with compiler optimizations.

Arnd found tha the test against a zero length brings up some new
warnings with gcc v8:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82103

And successively rremoving the test against a zero length and the call
to __memzero optimization produces the following kernel sizes for
defconfig with gcc 6:

    text     data     bss       dec       hex  filename
12248142  6278960  413588  18940690   1210312  vmlinux.orig
12244474  6278960  413588  18937022   120f4be  vmlinux.no_zero_test
12239160  6278960  413588  18931708   120dffc  vmlinux.no_memzero

So it is probably not worth keeping __memzero around given that the
compiler can do a better job at inlining trivial memset(p,0,n) on its
own. And the memset code already handles a zero length just fine.
