[PATCH v1 1/5] lib/string: Add memset_simple()

[Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de>]

The optimized memset() ARM64 implementation cannot be used very early
on, since caches need to be enabled for this function to work. Otherwise
an exception occurs (only printed with very early DEBUG_UART enabled).

This patch now implements a very simple memset() version, which will be
used in a few selected places in the ARM64 early boot process.
