arm64: Implement optimised checksum routine
Apparently there exist certain workloads which rely heavily on software checksumming, for which the generic do_csum() implementation becomes a significant bottleneck. Therefore let's give arm64 its own optimised version - for ease of maintenance this foregoes assembly or intrisics, and is thus not actually arm64-specific, but does rely heavily on C idioms that translate well to the A64 ISA and the typical load/store capabilities of most ARMv8 CPU cores. The resulting increase in checksum throughput scales nicely with buffer size, tending towards 4x for a small in-order core (Cortex-A53), and up to 6x or more for an aggressive big core (Ampere eMAG).
