[PATCH] x86: emit tzcnt unconditionally


tzcnt is encoded as "rep;bsf" and unlike lzcnt is a drop-in replacement
if we don't care about the flags (it has the same semantics for non-zero
values).

Since bsf is usually slower, just emit tzcnt unconditionally.  However,
write it as rep;bsf unless -mbmi is in use, to cater for old assemblers.

Bootstrapped on a non-BMI x86_64-linux host, regtest in progress.
Ok for mainline?

        * config/i386/i386.md (ctz<mode>2): Emit tzcnt (as rep;bsf)
        instead of bsf.
