[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/7] drm: Relax alignment constraint for destination address

There is no need for the destination address to be aligned to 16 byte
boundary to be able to use the non-temporal instructions while copying.
Non-temporal instructions are used only for loading from the source
address which has alignment constraints.
We only need to take care of using the right instructions, based on
whether destination address is aligned or not, while storing the data to
the destination address.

__memcpy_ntdqu is copied from i915/i915_memcpy.c
