internal/util.js definied toInteger() and toLength() but they were only
used by lib/buffer.js. Inlining these small functions results in a small but
statistically-significant performance gain.

I thought the idea was to use these in other places @thefourtheye ?

@cjihrig ... I'm sure it could be, but until there's a need for that, this should be fine. We can revert this if it proves necessary.

should we backport to v6.x? I've added the baking label as we should wait a bit if it is going to land

I am going to take a wild guess here. The performance improvement seen here could be because of the hidden isNaN check. The idea was to standardise buffer checks and toInteger could be used everywhere else.
