[New-bugs-announce] [issue35696] remove unnecessary operation in long_compare()

[Ma Lin]

New submission from Ma Lin <malincns at 163.com>:

static int
long_compare(PyLongObject *a, PyLongObject *b)
{
    ....
}

This function in /Objects/longobject.c is used to compare two PyLongObject's value.
We only need the sign, converting to -1 or +1 is not necessary.
