David Crawshaw 441502154f runtime: remove defer from standard cgo call
The endcgo function call is currently deferred in case a cgo
callback into Go panics and unwinds through cgocall. Typical cgo
calls do not have callbacks into Go, and even fewer panic, so we
pay the cost of this defer for no typical benefit.

Amazingly, there is another defer on the cgocallback path also used
to cleanup in case the Go code called by cgo panics. This CL folds
the first defer into the second, to reduce the cost of typical cgo
calls.

This reduces the overhead for a no-op cgo call significantly:

	name       old time/op  new time/op  delta
	CgoNoop-8  93.5ns ± 0%  51.1ns ± 1%  -45.34%  (p=0.016 n=4+5)

The total effect between Go 1.7 and 1.8 is even greater, as CL 29656
reduced the cost of defer recently. Hopefully a future Go release
will drop the cost of defer to nothing, making this optimization
unnecessary. But until then, this is nice.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
