Patch series "Multibyte memset variations", v4.

A relatively common idiom we're missing is a function to fill an area of
memory with a pattern which is larger than a single byte.  I first
noticed this with a zram patch which wanted to fill a page with an
'unsigned long' value.  There turn out to be quite a few places in the
kernel which can benefit from using an optimised function rather than a
loop; sometimes text size, sometimes speed, and sometimes both.  The
optimised PowerPC version (not included here) improves performance by
about 30% on POWER8 on just the raw memset_l().

Most of the extra lines of code come from the three testcases I added.

This patch (of 8):

memset16(), memset32() and memset64() are like memset(), but allow the
caller to fill the destination with a value larger than a single byte.
memset_l() and memset_p() allow the caller to use unsigned long and
pointer values respectively.
