Subject: [PATCH] x86: Code cleanup in strchr-avx2 and comment justifying
 branch
Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Small code cleanup for size: -53 bytes.

Add comment justifying using a branch to do NULL/non-null return.

All string/memory tests pass and no regressions in benchtests.

geometric_mean(N=20) of all benchmarks Original / New: 1.00
