[PATCH v2 0/3] Import Arm Optimized Routines str{n}cmp functions

[Joey Gouly]

Hi all,

The previous str{n}cmp routines were not MTE safe, so were disabled in:
  59a68d413808 ("arm64: Mitigate MTE issues with str{n}cmp()")

The Arm Optimized Routines repository recently merged [1] their strcmp.S and
strcmp-mte.S files into a single file that is MTE safe.

Therefore we can import these new MTE safe functions and remove the workaround.

I did some light boot tests using QEMU.

Changes since v1 [2]:
  - Rebased onto v5.17-rc3 (Asked for by Will [3])
  - Clarified the license in the commit message
  - Added Mark's acks

Thanks,
Joey
