From: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com>

For not very short NBYTES case:

To handle the tail alignment, the code performs a potentially
misaligned word store to fill the final 8 bytes of the buffer.
This is done even if the buffer's end is aligned.

Eventually code fills the rest of the buffer, which is a multiple
of 8 bytes now, with NBYTES / 8 aligned word stores.

However, this means that if NBYTES *was* divisible by 8,
we store last word too, again.

This patch decrements byte count before dividing it by 8,
making one less store in "NBYTES is divisible by 8" case,
and not changing anything in all other cases.
