ARM: 9014/2: Replace string mem* functions for KASan
Functions like memset()/memmove()/memcpy() do a lot of memory
accesses.

If a bad pointer is passed to one of these functions it is important
to catch this. Compiler instrumentation cannot do this since these
functions are written in assembly.

KASan replaces these memory functions with instrumented variants.

The original functions are declared as weak symbols so that
the strong definitions in mm/kasan/kasan.c can replace them.

The original functions have aliases with a '__' prefix in their
name, so we can call the non-instrumented variant if needed.

We must use __memcpy()/__memset() in place of memcpy()/memset()
when we copy .data to RAM and when we clear .bss, because
kasan_early_init cannot be called before the initialization of
.data and .bss.

For the kernel compression and EFI libstub's custom string
libraries we need a special quirk: even if these are built
without KASan enabled, they rely on the global headers for their
custom string libraries, which means that e.g. memcpy()
will be defined to __memcpy() and we get link failures.
Since these implementations are written i C rather than
assembly we use e.g. __alias(memcpy) to redirected any
users back to the local implementation.
