Subject: [PATCH 4/3] setjmp: optimize longjmp prologues

Use a branchless sequence that is one byte shorter on 64-bit, same size
on 32-bit. Thanks to Pete Cawley for suggesting this variant.
---

I'm sending a revised variant after Pete Cawley (@corsix) suggested a
preferable variant on Twitter. A similar cmp-adc combo can be used to
replace the branchy sequence in i386 longjmp code.
