[PATCH RESEND] x86/boot: #undef memcpy etc in string.c

[Matthias Kaehlcke]

From: Michael Davidson <md@google.com>

undef memcpy and friends in boot/string.c so that the functions
defined here will have the correct names, otherwise we end up
up trying to redefine __builtin_memcpy etc.
Surprisingly, gcc allows this (and, helpfully, discards the
__builtin_ prefix from the function name when compiling it),
but clang does not.

Adding these #undef's appears to preserve what I assume was
the original intent of the code.
