In the common case, we will exit the loop with a break,
so this patch eliminates an unnecessary check.
On some architectures this optimization might be done
automatically by the compiler, but I think it will be better
to make it explicit here. Although on x86 this optimization
happens automatically, I noticed that on my build target
(ARM/GCC) this does change the binary.
