Prefer expansions such as: pmullw,pmulhw,unpacklwd,unpackhwd over pmulld.
On Silvermont [source: Optimization Reference Manual]:
PMULLD has a throughput of 1/11 [instruction/cycles].
PMULHUW/PMULHW/PMULLW have a throughput of 1/2 [instruction/cycles].
Fixes pr31202.

(!isPMULLDSlow() || hasSSE41()) is good enough, logically speaking.
