string: memchr_inv() speed improvements
- Generate a 64-bit pattern more efficiently memchr_inv needs to generate a 64-bit pattern filled with a target character. The operation can be done by more efficient way. - Don't call the slow check_bytes() if the memory area is 64-bit aligned memchr_inv compares contiguous 64-bit words with the 64-bit pattern as much as possible. The outside of the region is checked by check_bytes() that scans for each byte. Unfortunately, the first 64-bit word is unexpectedly scanned by check_bytes() even if the memory area is aligned to a 64-bit boundary. Both changes were originally suggested by Eric Dumazet.
