x86: Fix Zen3/Zen4 ERMS selection (BZ 30994)
The REP MOVSB usage on memcpy/memmove does not show much performance improvement on Zen3/Zen4 cores compared to the vectorized loops. Also, as from BZ 30994, if the source is aligned and the destination is not the performance can be 20x slower. The performance difference is noticeable with small buffer sizes, closer to the lower bounds limits when memcpy/memmove starts to use ERMS. The performance of REP MOVSB is similar to vectorized instruction on the size limit (the L2 cache). Also, there is no drawback to multiple cores sharing the cache. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu on Zen3. Reviewed-by:H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com> (cherry picked from commit 0c0d39fe)
