[v1,2/2] x86: Optimize strchr-evex.S

No bug. This commit optimizes strlen-evex.S. The optimizations are
mostly small things such as save an ALU in the alignment process,
saving a few instructions in the loop return. The one significant
change is saving 2 instructions in the 4x loop. test-strchr,
test-strchrnul, test-wcschr, and test-wcschrnul are all passing.

Your strlen AVX2 and EVEX patches have been committed:

commit aaa23c35071537e2dcf5807e956802ed215210aa
Author: Noah Goldstein <goldstein.w.n@gmail.com>
Date:   Mon Apr 19 19:36:07 2021 -0400

    x86: Optimize strlen-avx2.S

    No bug. This commit optimizes strlen-avx2.S. The optimizations are
    mostly small things but they add up to roughly 10-30% performance
    improvement for strlen. The results for strnlen are bit more
    ambiguous. test-strlen, test-strnlen, test-wcslen, and test-wcsnlen
    are all passing.

Are the new patches incremental improvements?  If yes, please rebase them.

Thanks.
