perf expr: Prevent normalize() from reading into undefined memory in the expression lexer

The current implementation does not account for a trailing backslash
followed by a null-byte.

If a null-byte is encountered following a backslash, normalize() will
continue reading (and potentially writing) into garbage memory ignoring
the EOS null-byte.
