Jeff Mahoney 637a99022f powerpc: Fix handling of strncmp with zero len
Commit 0119536c, which added the assembly version of strncmp to
powerpc, mentions that it adds two instructions to the version from
boot/string.S to allow it to handle len=0. Unfortunately, it doesn't
always return 0 when that is the case. The length is passed in r5, but
the return value is passed back in r3. In certain cases, this will
happen to work. Otherwise it will pass back the address of the first
string as the return value.

This patch lifts the len <= 0 handling code from memcpy to handle that
case.
