arch/tile: make sure to build memcpy_user_64 without frame pointer

Add a comment explaining why this is important, and add a CFLAGS_REMOVE
clause to the Makefile to make sure it happens.

* Do memcpy(), but trap and return "n" when a load or store faults.
*
* Note: this idiom only works when memcpy() compiles to a leaf function.
* If "sp" is updated during memcpy, the "jrp lr" will be incorrect.
* Here leaf function not only means it does not have calls, but also
* requires no stack operations (sp, stack frame pointer) and no
* use of callee-saved registers, else "jrp lr" will be incorrect since
* unwinding stack frame is bypassed. Since memcpy() is not complex so
* these conditions are satisfied here, but we need to be careful when
* modifying this file. This is not a clean solution but is the best
* one so far.
*
* Also note that we are capturing "n" from the containing scope here.
