Florian Weimer 3ec7c02cc3 x86-64: memcmp-avx2-movbe.S needs saturating subtraction [BZ #21662] ...

This code:

L(between_2_3):
	/* Load as big endian with overlapping loads and bswap to avoid
	   branches.  */
	movzwl	-2(%rdi, %rdx), %eax
	movzwl	-2(%rsi, %rdx), %ecx
	shll	$16, %eax
	shll	$16, %ecx
	movzwl	(%rdi), %edi
	movzwl	(%rsi), %esi
	orl	%edi, %eax
	orl	%esi, %ecx
	bswap	%eax
	bswap	%ecx
	subl	%ecx, %eax
	ret

needs a saturating subtract because the full register is used.
With this commit, only the lower 24 bits of the register are used,
so a regular subtraction suffices.

The test case change adds coverage for these kinds of bugs.
