x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Remove loop unrolling

In preparation for teaching memcpy_mcsafe() to return 'bytes remaining'
rather than pass / fail, simplify the implementation to remove loop
unrolling. The unrolling complicates the fault handling for negligible
benefit given modern CPUs perform loop stream detection.
