[PATCH 5/5] riscv: __asm_to/copy_from_user: Bulk copy when both src, dst are aligned

In the lucky situation that the both source and destination address are on
the aligned boundary, perform load and store with register size to copy the
data.

Without the unrolling, it will reduce the speed since the next store
instruction for the same register using from the load will stall the
pipeline.
