    libc: optimize memmem two-way bad character shift
    
    first, the condition (mem && k < p) is redundant, because mem being
    nonzero implies the needle is periodic with period exactly p, in which
    case any byte that appears in the needle must appear in the last p
    bytes of the needle, bounding the shift (k) by p.
    
    second, the whole point of replacing the shift k by mem (=l-p) is to
    prevent shifting by less than mem when discarding the memory on shift,
    in which case linear time could not be guaranteed. but as written, the
    check also replaced shifts greater than mem by mem, reducing the
    benefit of the shift. there is no possible benefit to this reduction of
    the shift; since mem is being cleared, the full shift is valid and
    more optimal. so only replace the shift by mem when it would be less
    than mem.
