The tuning for non-temporal stores for memset vs memcpy is not always
the same. This includes both the exact value and whether non-temporal
stores are profitable at all for a given arch.

This patch add `x86_memset_non_temporal_threshold`. Currently we
disable non-temporal stores for non Intel vendors as the only
benchmarks showing its benefit have been on Intel hardware.

Well, something's fishy here:

$ ./elf/ld.so --list-tunables | grep threshold
glibc.malloc.mmap_threshold: 0x0 (min: 0x0, max: 0xffffffffffffffff)
glibc.cpu.x86_rep_movsb_threshold: 0x600000 (min: 0x100, max: 0xffffffffffffffff)
glibc.cpu.x86_non_temporal_threshold: 0x600000 (min: 0x4040, max: 0xfffffffffffffff)
glibc.malloc.trim_threshold: 0x0 (min: 0x0, max: 0xffffffffffffffff)
glibc.cpu.x86_rep_stosb_threshold: 0xffffffffffffffff (min: 0x1, max: 0xffffffffffffffff)
glibc.cpu.x86_memset_non_temporal_threshold: 0x0 (min: 0x0, max: 0xffffffffffffffff)
					    ^^^^^^^^^

on glibc-2.39.9000-300-g54c1efdac55b from git.

That's on a AMD Zen1 so I'd expect that memset NT threshold to be
0xffffffffffffffff by default...

Thx.
