[New-bugs-announce] [issue28060] Clean up division fast paths in Objects/longobject.c

[Mark Dickinson]

New submission from Mark Dickinson:

We seem to have ended up with redundant fast path checks for division in longobject.c: long_div has a fast path check, but the long_div slow path calls l_divmod, which then does a second, identical, fast path check. long_mod has similar behaviour. long_divmod, however, has no fast path, so relies on the one from l_divmod.

This patch removes the extra fast path from l_divmod, and then adds a top-level fast path check to long_divmod.
