riscv: lib: optimize strlen loop efficiency
Optimize the generic strlen implementation by using a pre-decrement
pointer. This reduces the loop body from 4 instructions to 3 and
eliminates the unconditional jump ('j').
Old loop (4 instructions, 2 branches):
1: lbu t0, 0(t1); beqz t0, 2f; addi t1, t1, 1; j 1b
New loop (3 instructions, 1 branch):
1: addi t1, t1, 1; lbu t0, 0(t1); bnez t0, 1b
This change improves execution efficiency and reduces branch pressure
for systems without the Zbb extension.
