In CPython 2.7, the memoryview.tobytes() method (implemented in
function memoryview_tobytes() in cpython/Objects/memoryobject.c) calls
PyBuffer_ToContiguous() to copy the bytes in the buffer object to the
newly allocated string memory.  PyBuffer_ToContiguous() in turn calls
PyBuffer_IsContiguous(), which always returns false when the
suboffsets member of the Py_buffer struct is non-NULL (even if all
entries in that array are negative!).  When PyBuffer_IsContiguous()
returns false, PyBuffer_ToContiguous() runs an alternative memory copy
scheme which apparently has an off-by-one bug that the normal memory
copy scheme doesn't have.

This change sets the Py_buffer suboffsets member to NULL if all
entries are negative, avoiding the off-by-one bug.

To reproduce the bug:

    cpdef foo():
        cdef unsigned char[:] v = bytearray("testing")
        # the following prints 'estingt' without this workaround
        print repr(memoryview(v).tobytes())
