bugfix: ARM: memset.S: use unsigned comparisons
The 'BLT' instruction checks for *signed* values. So if a3, length
parameter of memset, is negative, then value added to the PC will be
large.
memset(buf, 0xaa, 0xffff0000) triggers the bug.

GDB crashes inside the memset function, on the store instruction. This
time the crash is (as expected) because of a memory access imediately
after the memory region that contains the stack -- the buffer that's
being memset'd is allocated on the stack.
