    x86-64: Improve EVEX strcmp with masked load
    
    In strcmp-evex.S, to compare 2 32-byte strings, replace
    
            VMOVU   (%rdi, %rdx), %YMM0
            VMOVU   (%rsi, %rdx), %YMM1
            /* Each bit in K0 represents a mismatch in YMM0 and YMM1.  */
            VPCMP   $4, %YMM0, %YMM1, %k0
            VPCMP   $0, %YMMZERO, %YMM0, %k1
            VPCMP   $0, %YMMZERO, %YMM1, %k2
            /* Each bit in K1 represents a NULL in YMM0 or YMM1.  */
            kord    %k1, %k2, %k1
            /* Each bit in K1 represents a NULL or a mismatch.  */
            kord    %k0, %k1, %k1
            kmovd   %k1, %ecx
            testl   %ecx, %ecx
            jne     L(last_vector)
    
    with
    
            VMOVU   (%rdi, %rdx), %YMM0
            VPTESTM %YMM0, %YMM0, %k2
            /* Each bit cleared in K1 represents a mismatch or a null CHAR
               in YMM0 and 32 bytes at (%rsi, %rdx).  */
            VPCMP   $0, (%rsi, %rdx), %YMM0, %k1{%k2}
            kmovd   %k1, %ecx
            incl    %ecx
            jne     L(last_vector)
    
    It makes EVEX strcmp faster than AVX2 strcmp by up to 40% on Tiger Lake
    and Ice Lake.
