x86: Optimize L(less_vec) case in memcmp-evex-movbe.S
No bug. Optimizations are twofold. 1) Replace page cross and 0/1 checks with masked load instructions in L(less_vec). In applications this reduces branch-misses in the hot [0, 32] case. 2) Change controlflow so that L(less_vec) case gets the fall through. Change 2) helps copies in the [0, 32] size range but comes at the cost of copies in the [33, 64] size range. From profiles of GCC and Python3, 94%+ and 99%+ of calls are in the [0, 32] range so this appears to the the right tradeoff. Signed-off-by:Noah Goldstein <goldstein.w.n@gmail.com> Reviewed-by:
