clang and gas seem to interpret the symbols in memmove.S and
memset.S differently, such that clang does not make them
'weak' as expected, which leads to a linker error, with both
ld.bfd and ld.lld:

ld.lld: error: duplicate symbol: memmove
>>> defined at common.c
>>>            kasan/common.o:(memmove) in archive mm/built-in.a
>>> defined at memmove.o:(__memmove) in archive arch/arm64/lib/lib.a

ld.lld: error: duplicate symbol: memset
>>> defined at common.c
>>>            kasan/common.o:(memset) in archive mm/built-in.a
>>> defined at memset.o:(__memset) in archive arch/arm64/lib/lib.a

Copy the exact way these are written in memcpy_64.S, which does
not have the same problem.

I don't know why this makes a difference, and it would be good
to have someone with a better understanding of assembler internals
review it.

It might be either a bug in the kernel or a bug in the assembler,
no idea which one. My patch makes it work with all versions of
clang and gcc, which is probably helpful even if it's a workaround
for a clang bug.
