I was thinking that compiler should be able to optimize it out but not sure
about all compilers that we support. It's quite cheap so can do that anyway
but not sure if it's worthy it.

we are talking about size_t (unsigned) and int (signed) so not sure how
could compiler optimize it out on 32bit? Did I miss anything?

I'm not really sure if there is any point to optimize this at all.
PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC
is quite expensive function ( it is a kdf creating hmac in iterations
rounds ) and any such optimization in PHP will be just too small compare to
that overhead... But I can of course move it and I might do that.. :) Just
think that there is not much point to spend time on optimizing these
functions. I think that OpenSSL overhead (also for most other functions)
will be just too big compare to these micro optimizations... ;)
