aarch64: Improve strncmp for mutually misaligned inputs
The mutually misaligned inputs on aarch64 are compared with a simple byte copy, which is not very efficient. Enhance the comparison similar to strcmp by loading a double-word at a time. The peak performance improvement (i.e. 4k maxlen comparisons) due to this on the strncmp microbenchmark is as follows: falkor: 3.5x (up to 72% time reduction) cortex-a73: 3.5x (up to 71% time reduction) cortex-a53: 3.5x (up to 71% time reduction) All mutually misaligned inputs from 16 bytes maxlen onwards show upwards of 15% improvement and there is no measurable effect on the performance of aligned/mutually aligned inputs. * sysdeps/aarch64/strncmp.S (count): New macro. (strncmp): Store misaligned length in SRC1 in COUNT. (mutual_align): Adjust. (misaligned8): Load dword at a time when it is safe.
