[PATCH] riscv: __asm_copy_to-from_user: fix out of boundary memory copy

The __asm_copy_to-from_user function will copy extra bytes beyond the
boundary when two conditions hold:

1. (src - dst) & (SZREG-1) == 0
2. 8*SZREG <= size < -src & (SZREG-1) + 8*SZREG

The first condition makes the function enter the unrolled word copy code
path. And the second condition makes the function believe that there is
enough bytes to do one iteration of 8*SZREG byte copy. That is not true
since the available bytes is reduced by -src & (SZREG-1) byte to make
both src and dst aligned to SZREG.

This behavior causes serious issue with exec system call both on RV64
and RV32. The passed-in command line parameters might be changed
silently since they are copied to the new process's stack continuously.
