Benjamin Kramer 66821d9020 InstCombine: Turn (zext A) == (B & (1<<X)-1) into A == (trunc B), narrowing the compare.
This saves a cast, and zext is more expensive on platforms with subreg support
than trunc is. This occurs in the BSD implementation of memchr(3), see PR12750.
On the synthetic benchmark from that bug stupid_memchr and bsd_memchr have the
same performance now when not inlining either function.

stupid_memchr: 323.0us
bsd_memchr: 321.0us
memchr: 479.0us

where memchr is the llvm-gcc compiled bsd_memchr from osx lion's libc. When
inlining is enabled bsd_memchr still regresses down to llvm-gcc memchr time,
I haven't fully understood the issue yet, something is grossly mangling the
loop after inlining.
