runtime: fix regression in BenchmarkCompareBytes* for ppc64x
Between go1.7 and go1.8, a performance regression was introduced in some of the BenchmarkCompareBytes benchmarks. Go1.7 vs Go1.8: BenchmarkCompareBytesToNil-8 7.44 8.44 +13.44% BenchmarkCompareBytesIdentical-8 6.96 11.5 +65.23% BenchmarkCompareBytesBigIdentical-8 6.65 47112 +708351.13% This change fixes the problem by optimizing the case where the byte slices being compared are equal: Go1.9 vs current: BenchmarkCompareBytesToNil-8 7.35 7.00 -4.76% BenchmarkCompareBytesIdentical-8 11.4 6.81 -40.26% BenchmarkCompareBytesBigIdentical-8 48396 9.26 -99.98% runtime.cmpstring can benefit from the same approach and is also changed.
