ARM: 7449/1: use generic strnlen_user and strncpy_from_user functions
This patch implements the word-at-a-time interface for ARM using the same algorithm as x86. We use the fls macro from ARMv5 onwards, where we have a clz instruction available which saves us a mov instruction when targetting Thumb-2. For older CPUs, we use the magic 0x0ff0001 constant. Big-endian configurations make use of the implementation from asm-generic. With this implemented, we can replace our byte-at-a-time strnlen_user and strncpy_from_user functions with the optimised generic versions.
