[PATCH 3/5] riscv: __asm_to/copy_from_user: Copy until dst is aligned

First copy in bytes until reaches the first word aligned boundary in
destination memory address.

For speeding up the copy, trying to avoid both the unaligned memory access
and byte access are the key. This is the preparation before the bulk
aligned word copy.
