MIPS: memset.S: EVA & fault support for small_memset
The MIPS kernel memset / bzero implementation includes a small_memset branch which is used when the region to be set is smaller than a long (4 bytes on 32bit, 8 bytes on 64bit). The current small_memset implementation uses a simple store byte loop to write the destination. There are 2 issues with this implementation: 1. When EVA mode is active, user and kernel address spaces may overlap. Currently the use of the sb instruction means kernel mode addressing is always used and an intended write to userspace may actually overwrite some critical kernel data. 2. If the write triggers a page fault, for example by calling __clear_user(NULL, 2), instead of gracefully handling the fault, an OOPS is triggered. Fix these issues by replacing the sb instruction with the EX() macro, which will emit EVA compatible instuctions as required. Additionally implement a fault fixup for small_memset which sets a2 to the number of bytes that could not be cleared (as defined by __clear_user).
