sparc64: optimize struct page zeroing
Add an optimized mm_zero_struct_page(), so struct page's are zeroed without calling memset(). We do eight to ten regular stores based on the size of struct page. Compiler optimizes out the conditions of switch() statement.

Note, about two seconds in this function is a fixed time: it does not increase as memory is increased.
