powerpc: Optimise the 64bit optimised __clear_user
I blame Mikey for this. He elevated my slightly dubious testcase:
to benchmark status. And naturally we need to be number 1 at creating
zeros. So lets improve __clear_user some more.
As Paul suggests we can use dcbz for large lengths. This patch gets
the destination cacheline aligned then uses dcbz on whole cachelines.
