This is an obvious optimisation whose overhead is neglectable but
which significantly simplifies the common uses of `compareByteArrays#`
which would otherwise require to make *careful* use of
`reallyUnsafePtrEquality#` or (equally fragile) `byteArrayContents#`
which can result in less optimal assembler code being generated.

Test Plan: carefully examined generated cmm/asm code; validate via phab
