> than "memcpy" if "RTE_ARCH_ARM64_MEMCPY" is set as true.
> Furthermore, 'rte_memcpy' will initialize 'digest' with two steps by invoking
> rte_mov_x functions. For example:
>
> partial_hash_sha1 -> rte_memcpy -> rte_memcpy_ge16_lt_128 -> step 1:
> rte_mov16(dst,src ) step 2: rte_mov16(dst - 16 + n, src - 16 + n)
>
> However, gcc compiler cannot identify this multi-step initialization, then it
> will report warning.
>
> To fix this, use "memset" to initialize "digest".
