34fe8281d7 arm: lib: memcpy: Do not copy to same address
In some cases (e.g. bootm with a elf payload which is already at the right
position) there is a in place copy of data to the same address. Catching this
saves some ms while booting.

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
