Subject: [PATCH] arm64: clear_page: use stnp non-temporal instruction for performance optimizing

When clear page mem, there is no need to alloc cache for storing these
mem value. And the copy_page.S have used stnp instruction for optimizing.
So I rewrite the clear_page.S with stnp. At the same time, I have tested it
with stnp instruction which will get about twice the performance improvement.
