[PATCH v1 2/3] x86: Move and slightly improve memset_erms

Implementation wise:
    1. Remove the VZEROUPPER as memset_{impl}_unaligned_erms does not
       use the L(stosb) label that was previously defined.

    2. Don't give the hotpath (fallthrough) to zero size.

Code positioning wise:

Move L(memset_{chk}_erms) to its own file.  Leaving it in between the
memset_{impl}_unaligned both adds unnecessary complexity to the
file and wastes space in a relatively hot cache section.
