Fix MIPS64 memcpy regression.
The MIPS memcpy optimizations at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00597.html>
introduced a bug causing many string function tests to fail with
segfaults for n32 and n64:
FAIL: string/stratcliff
FAIL: string/test-bcopy
FAIL: string/test-memccpy
FAIL: string/test-memcmp
FAIL: string/test-memcpy
FAIL: string/test-memmove
FAIL: string/test-mempcpy
FAIL: string/test-stpncpy
FAIL: string/test-strncmp
FAIL: string/test-strncpy
(Some failures in other directories could also be caused by this bug.)
The problem is that after the check for whether a word of input is
left that can be copied as a word before moving to byte copies, a load
can occur in the branch delay slot, resulting in a segfault if we are
at the end of a page and the following page is unmapped. I don't see
how this would have passed the tests as reported in the original patch
posting (different kernel configurations affecting the code setting up
unmapped pages, maybe?), since the tests in question don't appear to
have changed recently.
This patch moves a later instruction into the delay slot, as suggested
at <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-01/msg00584.html>.
Tested for n32 and n64.

* sysdeps/mips/memcpy.S (MEMCPY_NAME) [USE_DOUBLE]: Avoid word
