[PATCH v6 1/6] powerpc/mm: prepare kernel for KAsan on PPC32

[Christophe Leroy]

In kernel/cputable.c, explicitly use memcpy() in order
to allow GCC to replace it with __memcpy() when KASAN is
selected.

Since commit 400c47d81ca38 ("powerpc32: memset: only use dcbz once cache is
enabled"), memset() can be used before activation of the cache,
so no need to use memset_io() for zeroing the BSS.
