arm: Use optimized memcpy and memset from linux

Using optimized versions of memset and memcpy from linux brings a quite
noticeable speed (x2 or better) improvement for these two functions.

Here are some numbers for test done with jadecpu

(1) No dcache
(2) dcache enabled in board_init
*Does not work when dcache is on
