benchtests: Fix walking sizes and directions for *-walk benchmarks
Make the walking benchmarks walk only backwards since copying both ways is biased in favour of implementations that use non-temporal stores for larger sizes; falkor is one of them. This also fixes up bugs in computation of the result which ended up multiplying the length with the timing result unnecessarily. * benchtests/bench-memcpy-walk.c (do_one_test): Copy only backwards. Fix timing computation. * benchtests/bench-memmove-walk.c (do_one_test): Likewise. * benchtests/bench-memset-walk.c (do_one_test): Walk backwards on memset by N at a time. Fix timing computation.
