fbdev: Improve performance of cfb_imageblit()



Improve the performance of cfb_imageblit() by manually unrolling
the inner blitting loop and moving some invariants out. The compiler
failed to do this automatically. This change keeps cfb_imageblit()
in sync with sys_imagebit().

A microbenchmark measures the average number of CPU cycles
for cfb_imageblit() after a stabilizing period of a few minutes
(i7-4790, FullHD, simpledrm, kernel with debugging).

cfb_imageblit(), new: 15724 cycles
cfb_imageblit(): old: 30566 cycles

In the optimized case, cfb_imageblit() is now ~2x faster than before.

v3:
