    powerpc/32: remove a NOP from memset() · ad1b0122
    Christophe Leroy authored
    memset() is patched after initialisation to activate the
    optimised part which uses cache instructions.
    
    Today we have a 'b 2f' to skip the optimised patch, which then gets
    replaced by a NOP, implying a useless cycle consumption.
    As we have a 'bne 2f' just before, we could use that instruction
    for the live patching, hence removing the need to have a
    dedicated 'b 2f' to be replaced by a NOP.
    
    This patch changes the 'bne 2f' by a 'b 2f'. During init, that
    'b 2f' is then replaced by 'bne 2f'
