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.

Remove some code that is no longer called now that we make sure never
to invoke the SIMD routine with less than 16 bytes of input.

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.

Avoid excessive scheduling delays under a preemptible kernel by
yielding the NEON after every block of input.

Move the CRC-T10DIF literal data to the .rodata section where it is
safe from being exploited by speculative execution.

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)
