[PATCH] x86: memtest: make it a bit faster

[Alexander Holler <holler@ahsoftware.de>]

While implementing the same functionality for arm, I've noticed that
memtest does an unnecessary round to zero the memory. Just reversing the
order so that the last round writes 0s spares that round.

While there, I've also changed the message if bad memory is found from
informational to emergency.

And last I've removed some warnings from checkpatch.
