H.J. Lu 4cb334c4d6 x86: Use AVX2 memcpy/memset on Skylake server [BZ #21396 ]

On Skylake server, AVX512 load/store instructions in memcpy/memset may
lead to lower CPU turbo frequency in certain situations.  Use of AVX2
in memcpy/memset has been observed to have improved overall performance
in many workloads due to the higher frequency.

Since AVX512ER is unique to Xeon Phi, this patch sets Prefer_No_AVX512
if AVX512ER isn't available so that AVX2 versions of memcpy/memset are
used on Skylake server.

	[BZ #21396]
	* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Set
	Prefer_No_AVX512 if AVX512ER isn't available.
	* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.h (bit_arch_Prefer_No_AVX512): New.
	(index_arch_Prefer_No_AVX512): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcpy.S (__new_memcpy): Don't use
	AVX512 version if Prefer_No_AVX512 is set.
	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcpy_chk.S (__memcpy_chk):
	Likewise.
	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove.S (__libc_memmove): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove_chk.S (__memmove_chk):
	Likewise.
	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/mempcpy.S (__mempcpy): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/mempcpy_chk.S (__mempcpy_chk):
	Likewise.
	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset.S (memset): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset_chk.S (__memset_chk):
	Likewise.
