The direction test inside the loop was not always completely optimized, resulting in a larger than necessary function. This change adds a direction variable that is set out of the loop. Now the function is down to 48 bytes on x86, 32 on ARM and 68 on mips. It's worth noting that other approaches were attempted (including relying on the up and down functions) but they were only slightly beneficial on x86 and cost more on others.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
