x86/asm/64: Align start of __clear_user() loop to 16-bytes

x86 CPUs can suffer severe performance drops if a tight loop, such as
the ones in __clear_user(), straddles a 16-byte instruction fetch
window, or worse, a 64-byte cacheline. This issues was discovered in the
SUSE kernel with the following commit,

  11539337 ("x86/asm/64: Micro-optimize __clear_user() - Use immediate constants")

which increased the code object size from 10 bytes to 15 bytes and
caused the 8-byte copy loop in __clear_user() to be split across a
64-byte cacheline.

Aligning the start of the loop to 16-bytes makes this fit neatly inside
a single instruction fetch window again and restores the performance of
__clear_user() which is used heavily when reading from /dev/zero.

Here are some numbers from running libmicro's read_z* and pread_z*
microbenchmarks which read from /dev/zero:

Note that this doesn't affect Haswell or Broadwell microarchitectures
which seem to avoid the alignment issue by executing the loop straight
out of the Loop Stream Detector (verified using perf events).
