lz4: fix kernel decompression speed

This patch replaces all memcpy() calls with LZ4_memcpy() which calls
__builtin_memcpy() so the compiler can inline it.

LZ4 relies heavily on memcpy() with a constant size being inlined.  In x86
and i386 pre-boot environments memcpy() cannot be inlined because memcpy()
doesn't get defined as __builtin_memcpy().

An equivalent patch has been applied upstream so that the next import
won't lose this change [1].

I've measured the kernel decompression speed using QEMU before and after
this patch for the x86_64 and i386 architectures.  The speed-up is about
10x as shown below.

Code	Arch	Kernel Size	Time	Speed
v5.8	x86_64	11504832 B	148 ms	 79 MB/s
patch	x86_64	11503872 B	 13 ms	885 MB/s
v5.8	i386	 9621216 B	 91 ms	106 MB/s
patch	i386	 9620224 B	 10 ms	962 MB/s

I also measured the time to decompress the initramfs on x86_64, i386, and
arm.  All three show the same decompression speed before and after, as
expected.
