Subject: [RFC PATCH] fix OOB reads in Xbyte_memmem

Reported by Leah Neukirchen.
---
Presumably the loops were written that way to get good performance even in
absence of loop unrolling and/or without relying on advanced compiler
optimizations. In that case the manual loop pipelining should be kept as is,
and the solution is to reduce iteration count by one, pushing out one test
into the loop epilogue.
