[dev.power64] 9g: fix under-zeroing in clearfat
All three cases of clearfat were wrong on power64x. The cases that handle 1032 bytes and up and 32 bytes and up both use MOVDU (one directly generated in a loop and the other via duffzero), which leaves the pointer register pointing at the *last written* address. The generated code was not accounting for this, so the byte fill loop was re-zeroing the last zeroed dword, rather than the bytes following the last zeroed dword. Fix this by simply adding an additional 8 byte offset to the byte zeroing loop. The case that handled under 32 bytes was also wrong. It didn't update the pointer register at all, so the byte zeroing loop was simply re-zeroing the beginning of region. Again, the fix is to add an offset to the byte zeroing loop to account for this.
