xen/arm32: Get rid of __memzero()
All the code in arch/arm32/lib/ where copied from Linux 3.16
and never re-synced since then.
A few years ago, Linux got rid of __memzero() because the implementation
is very similar to memset(p,0,n) and the current use of __memzero()
interferes with optimization. See full commit message from Linux below.
So it makes sense to get rid of __memzero in Xen as well.

Subject: [PATCH] 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.
