[PATCH] zlib: Optimize inffast when copying direct from output

JFFS2 uses lesser compression ratio and inflate always
ends up in "copy direct from output" case.
This patch tries to optimize the direct copy procedure.
Uses get_unaligned() but only in one place.
The copy loop just above this one can also use this
optimization, but I havn't done so as I have not tested if it
is a win there too.
On my MPC8321 this is about 17% faster on my JFFS2 root FS
than the original.

 Would like some testing of the PowerPC boot wrapper and
 a LE target before sending it upstream.
