crypto: crc32c - Use Intel CRC32 instruction

From NHM processor onward, Intel processors can support hardware accelerated
CRC32c algorithm with the new CRC32 instruction in SSE 4.2 instruction set.
The patch detects the availability of the feature, and chooses the most proper
way to calculate CRC32c checksum.
Byte code instructions are used for compiler compatibility.
No MMX / XMM registers is involved in the implementation.

In Intel processor with SSE4.2 supported, the processor will
support CRC32C implementation using hardware accelerated CRC32
instruction. This option will create 'crc32c-intel' module,
which will enable any routine to use the CRC32 instruction to
gain performance compared with software implementation.
Module will be crc32c-intel.
