[PATCH v2 2/3] arm64: memset-arm64: Use simple memset when cache is disabled

[Stefan Roese]

The optimized memset uses the dc opcode, which causes problems when the
cache is disabled. This patch adds a check if the cache is disabled and
uses a very simple memset implementation in this case. Otherwise the
optimized version is used.
