[PATCH] powerpc: Fix 64bit memcpy() regression

This fixes a regression introduced by commit
25d6e2d7c58ddc4a3b614fc5381591c0cfe66556 ("powerpc: Update 64bit memcpy()
using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD").

This commit allowed CPUs that have the CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD CPU
feature bit present to do the memcpy() with unaligned load doubles. But,
along with this came a bug where our final load double would read bytes
beyond a page boundary and into the next (unmapped) page. This was caught
by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, 

The fix was to read only the number of bytes that we need to store rather
than reading a full 8-byte doubleword and storing only a portion of that.

In order to minimise the amount of existing code touched we use the
original do_tail for the src_unaligned case.

Below is an example of the regression, as reported by Sachin Sant:
