aarch64: Optimized memset for falkor
The generic memset reads dczid_el0 on every memset.  This has a
significant impact on falkor for a range of sizes because reading
dczid_el0 is slow.

The DZP bit in the dczid_el0 register does not change dynamically, so
it is safe to read once during program startup.  With this patch
dczid_el0 is read once during startup and zva_size is cached.  This is
used to invoke the falkor-specific memset; the generic memset routine
remains unchanged.

The gains due to this are significant for falkor, with run time
reductions as high as 48%.  Here's a sample from the falkor tests:

Function: memset
Variant: walk
