[U-Boot] [PATCH V2] memcpy/memmove: Do not copy to same address

[Matthias Weisser]

In some cases (e.g. bootm with a elf payload which is already at the right
position) there is a in place copy of data to the same address. Catching this
saves some ms while booting.

Changes since V1:
  - Made subject more informative
  - Removed the optimization from bcopy as bcopy is not used anywhere
