The x86, arm, and arm64 asm implementations of crct10dif are very
difficult to understand partly because many of the comments, labels, and
macros are named incorrectly: the lengths mentioned are usually off by a
factor of two from the actual code. Many other things are unnecessarily
convoluted as well, e.g. there are many more fold constants than
actually needed and some aren't fully reduced.
This series therefore cleans up all these implementations to be much
more maintainable. I also made some small optimizations where I saw
opportunities, resulting in slightly better performance.
This patch cleans up the arm64 version.

The arm64 CRC-T10DIF implementation either uses 8-bit or 64-bit
polynomial multiplication instructions, since the latter are
faster but not mandatory in the architecture.
Since that prevents us from testing both implementations on the
same system, let's expose both implementations to the crypto API,
with the priorities reflecting that the P64 version is the
preferred one if available.

The SIMD routine ported from x86 used to have a special code path
for inputs < 16 bytes, which got lost somewhere along the way.
Instead, the current glue code aligns the input pointer to 16 bytes,
which is not really necessary on this architecture (although it
could be beneficial to performance to expose aligned data to the
the NEON routine), but this could result in inputs of less than
16 bytes to be passed in. This not only fails the new extended
tests that Eric has implemented, it also results in the code
reading past the end of the input, which could potentially result
in crashes when dealing with less than 16 bytes of input at the
end of a page which is followed by an unmapped page.
So update the glue code to only invoke the NEON routine if the
input is at least 16 bytes.

The arm64 implementation of the CRC-T10DIF algorithm uses the 64x64 bit
polynomial multiplication instructions, which are optional in the
architecture, and if these instructions are not available, we fall back
to the C routine which is slow and inefficient.
So let's reuse the 64x64 bit PMULL alternative from the GHASH driver that
uses a sequence of ~40 instructions involving 8x8 bit PMULL and some
shifting and masking. This is a lot slower than the original, but it is
still twice as fast as the current [unoptimized] C code on Cortex-A53,
and it is time invariant and much easier on the D-cache.

Reorganize the CRC-T10DIF asm routine so we can easily instantiate an
alternative version based on 8x8 polynomial multiplication in a
subsequent patch.

The arm64 kernel will shortly disallow nested kernel mode NEON, so
add a fallback to scalar C code that can be invoked in that case.

This is a transliteration of the Intel algorithm implemented
using SSE and PCLMULQDQ instructions that resides in the file
arch/x86/crypto/crct10dif-pcl-asm_64.S, but simplified to only
operate on buffers that are 16 byte aligned (but of any size)
