x86: Enable non-temporal memset tunable for AMD
In commit 46b5e98ef6f1 ("x86: Add seperate non-temporal tunable for
memset") a tunable threshold for enabling non-temporal memset was added,
but only for Intel hardware.
Since that commit, new benchmark results suggest that non-temporal
memset is beneficial on AMD, as well, so allow this tunable to be set
for AMD.
See:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1opzukzvum4n6-RUVHTGddV6RjAEil4P2uMjjQGLbLcU/edit?usp=sharing
which has been updated to include data using different stategies for
large memset on AMD Zen2, Zen3, and Zen4.
