alpha: Use new generic strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user()

Similar to x86/sparc/powerpc implementations except:
1) we implement an extremely efficient has_zero()/find_zero()
   sequence with both prep_zero_mask() and create_zero_mask()
   no-operations.
2) Our output from prep_zero_mask() differs in that only the
   lowest eight bits are used to represent the zero bytes
   nevertheless it can be safely ORed with other similar masks
   from prep_zero_mask() and forms input to create_zero_mask(),
   the two fundamental properties prep_zero_mask() must satisfy.

Tests on EV67 and EV68 CPUs revealed that the generic code is
essentially as fast (to within 0.5% of CPU cycles) of the old
Alpha specific code for large quadword-aligned strings, despite
the 30% extra CPU instructions executed.  In contrast, the
generic code for unaligned strings is substantially slower (by
more than a factor of 3) than the old Alpha specific code.

- * 21264 version contributed by Rick Gorton <rick.gorton@alpha-processor.com>
- *
- * Just like strncpy except in the return value:
- *
- * -EFAULT       if an exception occurs before the terminator is copied.
- * N             if the buffer filled.
- *
- * Otherwise the length of the string is returned.

- * Much of the information about 21264 scheduling/coding comes from:
- *	Compiler Writer's Guide for the Alpha 21264
- *	abbreviated as 'CWG' in other comments here
- *	ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/info/semiconductor/literature/dsc-library.html
- * Scheduling notation:
- *	E	- either cluster
- *	U	- upper subcluster; U0 - subcluster U0; U1 - subcluster U1
- *	L	- lower subcluster; L0 - subcluster L0; L1 - subcluster L1
- * A bunch of instructions got moved and temp registers were changed
- * to aid in scheduling.  Control flow was also re-arranged to eliminate
- * branches, and to provide longer code sequences to enable better scheduling.
- * A total rewrite (using byte load/stores for start & tail sequences)
- * is desirable, but very difficult to do without a from-scratch rewrite.
- * Save that for the future.

- * arch/alpha/lib/ev67-strlen_user.S
- * 21264 version contributed by Rick Gorton <rick.gorton@api-networks.com>
- *
- * Return the length of the string including the NULL terminator
- * (strlen+1) or zero if an error occurred.
- *
- * In places where it is critical to limit the processing time,
- * and the data is not trusted, strnlen_user() should be used.
- * It will return a value greater than its second argument if
- * that limit would be exceeded. This implementation is allowed
- * to access memory beyond the limit, but will not cross a page
- * boundary when doing so.
- *
- * Much of the information about 21264 scheduling/coding comes from:
- *      Compiler Writer's Guide for the Alpha 21264
- *      abbreviated as 'CWG' in other comments here
- *      ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/info/semiconductor/literature/dsc-library.html
- * Scheduling notation:
- *      E       - either cluster
- *      U       - upper subcluster; U0 - subcluster U0; U1 - subcluster U1
- *      L       - lower subcluster; L0 - subcluster L0; L1 - subcluster L1
- * Try not to change the actual algorithm if possible for consistency.
