Log:
  amd64: fix up memset added in r333324
  
  There was a missing trick expanding the passed pattern to a full word
  by multiplication. As a side effect non-zero patterns would be
  incorrectly laid down.
  
  This stems from the use of rep stosq which is word-sized, while the passed
  argument is byte-sized.
  
  I initially repurposed memcpy into memset without taking this into account.
  All but non-bzero testing was performed with a variant utilizing ERMS, i.e.
  using only stosb which happens to not into the problem whatsoever. So my bad
  twice.
  
  Thanks to Oliver Pinter for noting the problem and providing a testcase.
