[PATCH v9 2/5] x86/asm, x86/boot: expose inline memcmp()

[Mauricio Faria de Oliveira]

Move the inline memcmp function currently only available in 'boot/string.c'
into the shared string function header <asm/shared/string.h> to be reused.

This is not done through <asm/string.h> to avoid pulling unnecessary code
in 'boot/string.c' that causes build errors in 'boot/compressed/string.c'
and 'purgatory/purgatory.ro'.

No functional changes.

Signed-off-by: Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <mfo@xxxxxxxxxx>

Thanks to David Laight for noticing the return value difference between
inline and regular memcmp().
