When copy less than 128 and ge than 64 bytes, add src/dst after
load and store 64 bytes to improve performance.

Copy 127 bytes cost on Kunpeng920 (ms):
Without this patch:
memcpy: 14.62 copy_from_user: 14.23 copy_to_user: 14.42

With this patch:
memcpy: 13.85 copy_from_user: 13.26 copy_to_user: 13.84

It's about 5.27% improvement in memcpy().
