powerpc: replace #include <asm/export.h> with #include <linux/export.h>

Commit ddb5cdbafaaa ("kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost")
deprecated <asm/export.h>, which is now a wrapper of <linux/export.h>.

Replace #include <asm/export.h> with #include <linux/export.h>.

After all the <asm/export.h> lines are converted, <asm/export.h> and
<asm-generic/export.h> will be removed.

powerpc: Fix __clear_user() with KUAP enabled

The KUAP implementation adds calls in clear_user() to enable and
disable access to userspace memory. However, it doesn't add these to
__clear_user(), which is used in the ptrace regset code.

As there's only one direct user of __clear_user() (the regset code),
and the time taken to set the AMR for KUAP purposes is going to
dominate the cost of a quick access_ok(), there's not much point
having a separate path.

Rename __clear_user() to __arch_clear_user(), and make __clear_user()
just call clear_user().

powerpc/lib: optimise 32 bits __clear_user()

Rewrite clear_user() on the same principle as memset(0), making use
of dcbz to clear complete cache lines.

This code is a copy/paste of memset(), with some modifications
in order to retrieve remaining number of bytes to be cleared,
as it needs to be returned in case of error.

On the same way as done on PPC64 in commit 17968fbbd19f1
("powerpc: 64bit optimised __clear_user"), the patch moves
__clear_user() into a dedicated file string_32.S

On a MPC885, throughput is almost doubled:

Before:
~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000
1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 18.990779 seconds, 52.7MB/s

After:
~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000
1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 9.611468 seconds, 104.0MB/s

On a MPC8321, throughput is multiplied by 2.12:

Before:
root@vgoippro:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000
1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 6.844352 seconds, 146.1MB/s

After:
root@vgoippro:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000
1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 3.218854 seconds, 310.7MB/s
