RISC-V: improve string-function assembly

A patch from »Small fixups for the Zbb string functions« in state Mainline for linux-kernel

From: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner@...> Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2023 23:38:31 +0100

Commit-Message

Adapt the suggestions for the assembly string functions that Andrew suggested but that I didn't manage to include into the series that got applied. This includes improvements to two comments, removal of unneeded labels and moving one instruction slightly higher to contradict an explanatory comment. Suggested-by: Andrew Jones <ajones@...> Signed-off-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner@...>
