Update the names of the fb_mem*() helpers to be consistent with their
regular counterparts. Hence, fb_memset() now becomes fb_memset_io(),
fb_memcpy_fromfb() now becomes fb_memcpy_fromio() and fb_memcpy_tofb()
becomes fb_memcpy_toio(). No functional changes.

The static inlines wrappers does not provide any value, and could be replaced by
direct calls to memcpy_fromio(), memcpy_toio(), memset_io().

If you decide to keep the wrappers I will not hold you back, so the
patch has my:
Reviewed-by: Sam Ravnborg <redacted>

But I prefer the direct calls without the wrappers....
At first I was also skeptical if those fb_mem*() wrappers are needed. But Arnd mentioned that there are subtle differences between the current code and Linux' mem*_io() functions. Keeping the wrappers might be needed.

Best regards
