[PATCH v1] x86: Fix incorrect tunable logic for memmove-vec-unaligned-erms.

Move the setting of `rep_movsb_stop_threshold` to after the tunables
have been collected so that the `rep_movsb_stop_threshold` (which
is used to redirect control flow to the non_temporal case) will
use any user value for `non_temporal_threshold` (from
glibc.cpu.x86_non_temporal_threshold)

As well, use the proper bound in non_tempral case in
'memmove-vec-unaligned-erms' when entering from size being above
`rep_movsb_stop_threshold`.
