Re: [PATCH mm] kasan, powerpc: Don't rename memintrinsics if compiler adds prefixes

With appropriate compiler support [1], KASAN builds use __asan prefixed
meminstrinsics, and KASAN no longer overrides memcpy/memset/memmove.

If compiler support is detected (CC_HAS_KASAN_MEMINTRINSIC_PREFIX),
define memintrinsics normally (do not prefix '__').

On powerpc, KASAN is the only user of __mem functions, which are used to
define instrumented memintrinsics. Alias the normal versions for KASAN
to use in its implementation.

Seems this is a fix against "kasan: treat meminstrinsic as builtins in
uninstrumented files", so I'll plan to fold this patch into that patch.
