Robin Getz 648eee52cc Blackfin: optimize strncpy a bit
Add a little strncpy optimization which can easily cut boot time by 20%.

When the kernel is booting with initramfs, it builds up the filesystem
from a cpio archive by calling strncpy_from_user() via fs/namei.c's
do_getname() on every file in the archive (which can be lots) with a
length of PATH_MAX (1024).  This causes the dest of the strncpy to be
padded with many NUL bytes.

This optimization mostly causes these NUL bytes to be padded with a call
to memset() which is already optimized for filling memory quickly, but
the hardware loop helps a little bit as well.

Boot time measured with 'loglevel=0' so UART speed doesn't get in the way.
