x86: Fix Zen3/Zen4 ERMS selection (BZ 30994, BZ 30995)
The REP MOVSB usage on memcpy/memmove does show any performance gain
on Zen3/Zen4 cores compared to the vectorized loops.  Also, as
from BZ 30994, if source is aligned and destination is not the
performance can be as 20x slower.

The perfomance differnce is really noticeable with small buffer sizes,
closer to the lower bounds limits when memcpy/memmove starts to
use ERMS.  The performance of REP MOVSB is similar to vectorized
instruction on the size limit (the L2 cache).

Also, there is not drawnback of multiple cores sharing the cache.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu on Zen3.
