[PATCH v3 5/5] tools: update x86 string routines

When building the perf tool the build system complains that the x86
string routines are out-of-date:
| Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S'
| diff -u tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S
| Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S'
| diff -u tools/arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S
This is due to the way the asm-annotations for symbol aliasing were
reworked, which should have no functional/performance impact.
Import the latest versions, adding the new style SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(),
SYM_FUNC_ALIAS_LOAD(), SYM_FUNC_ALIAS_WEAK() macros into the perf
<linux/linkage.h> header. The old style SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS() and
SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS() macros are removed.
Other than removing the build-time warning, there should be no
functional change as a result of this patch.
