[PATCH 3/4] lib: vsprintf: Optimize put_dec_trunc8

From: George Spelvin
Date: Fri Aug 03 2012 - 01:21:20 EST


If you're going to have a conditional branch after
each 32x32->64-bit multiply, might as well shrink the code
and make it a loop.

This also avoids using the long multiply for small integers.

(This leaves the comments in a confusing state, but that's a separate
patch to make review easier.)
