x86_64: Remove bzero optimization
Both symbols are marked as legacy in POSIX.1-2001 and removed on
POSIX.1-2008, although the prototypes are defined for _GNU_SOURCE
or _DEFAULT_SOURCE.

GCC also replaces bcopy with a memmove and bzero with memset on default
configuration (to actually get a bzero libc call the code requires
to omit string.h inclusion and built with -fno-builtin), so it is
highly unlikely programs are actually calling libc bzero symbol.

On a recent Linux distro (Ubuntu 22.04), there is no bzero calls
by the installed binaries.

  $ cat count_bstring.sh
  #!/bin/bash

  files=`IFS=':';for i in $PATH; do test -d "$i" && find "$i" -maxdepth 1 -executable -type f; done`
  total=0
  for file in $files; do
    symbols=`objdump -R $file 2>&1`
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
      ncalls=`echo $symbols | grep -w $1 | wc -l`
      ((total=total+ncalls))
      if [ $ncalls -gt 0 ]; then
        echo "$file: $ncalls"
      fi
    fi
  done
  echo "TOTAL=$total"
  $ ./count_bstring.sh bzero
  TOTAL=0

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
