The __copy_user function (in arch/mips64/lib/memcpy.S) calls __bzero.
We can't do that because __bzero might modify len, which we want to
return in case of an error.
The following patch take care of the problem.
 Hmm, how about simply cloning arch/mips/lib/memcpy.S?  It seems:

1. Designed to work on mips64 as well.

2. More up to date.

And it would ease maintenance.
If it works then it's the right thing to do, so please go a head :-)
