[PATCH v2 2/3] riscv: optimized memmove

Matteo Croce mcroce at linux.microsoft.com

From: Matteo Croce <mcroce at microsoft.com>

When the destination buffer is before the source one, or when the
buffers doesn't overlap, it's safe to use memcpy() instead, which is
optimized to use the bigger data size possible.
