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:

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.
Saw the dialog, and agree that keeping current behaviour is the way to
go for now even if this is more code and wrappers.
