I missed that s390 doesn't have arch memcpy variants, so this fails:

>> kernel/kcsan/core.c:1316:16: error: implicit declaration of function '__memset'; did you mean '__memset64'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

I'll send a v2 where __tsan_mem* is aliased to generic versions if the
arch doesn't have mem*() functions.
