[PATCH v2 1/1] riscv: __asm_copy_to-from_user: Improve using word copy, if size is < 9*SZREG

[Akira Tsukamoto]

Reduce the number of slow byte_copy being used.

Currently byte_copy is used for all the cases when the size is smaller than
9*SZREG. When the size is in between 2*SZREG to 9*SZREG, use faster
unrolled word_copy.
