c627209832 x86: Fallback {str|wcs}cmp RTM in the ncmp overflow case [BZ #28896]
In the overflow fallback strncmp-avx2-rtm and wcsncmp-avx2-rtm would
call strcmp-avx2 and wcscmp-avx2 respectively. This would have
not checks around vzeroupper and would trigger spurious
aborts. This commit fixes that.

test-strcmp, test-strncmp, test-wcscmp, and test-wcsncmp all pass on
AVX2 machines with and without RTM.

7ebba91361 x86-64: Add AVX optimized string/memory functions for RTM
Since VZEROUPPER triggers RTM abort while VZEROALL won't, select AVX
optimized string/memory functions with

	xtest
	jz	1f
	vzeroall
	ret
1:
	vzeroupper
	ret

at function exit on processors with usable RTM, but without 256-bit EVEX
instructions to avoid VZEROUPPER inside a transactionally executing RTM
region.
