[U-Boot] [PATCH] bootm: Reduce the unnecessary memmove

Although load address and image start address are same address, bootm command does memmove.
That is unnecessary memmove and can be taken few milliseconds (about 500 msec to 1000 msec).
If reduce this memmove, we can reduce the boot time.

Please check this patch.

Thank you.
Minkyu Kang.
