[PATCH v2] x86, efi, kasan: #undef memset/memcpy/memmove per arch.

In not-instrumented code KASAN replaces instrumented
memset/memcpy/memmove with not-instrumented analogues
__memset/__memcpy/__memove.
However, on x86 the EFI stub is not linked with the kernel.
It uses not-instrumented mem*() functions from
arch/x86/boot/compressed/string.c
So we don't replace them with __mem*() variants in EFI stub.

On ARM64 the EFI stub is linked with the kernel, so we should
replace mem*() functions with __mem*(), because the EFI stub
runs before KASAN sets up early shadow.

So let's move these #undef mem* into arch's asm/efi.h which is
also included by the EFI stub.
