If we use multiply it would be with 0x0101 which is 1 more than a power
of 2. On some targets we would expand this to shl+add. By avoiding the
multiply earlier, we can generate better code.
Note, PowerPC doesn't do the shl+add expansion of multiply so one of
the tests increased in instruction count.
Limiting to scalars because it almost always increased the number of
instructions in vector tests.
