Occurs when CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRC32C_INTEL=y and CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRC32C_INTEL=y.
Older versions of bintuils do not support the pclmulqdq instruction. The
PCLMULQDQ gas macro is used instead.

This patch adds the crc_pcl function that calculates CRC32C checksum using the
PCLMULQDQ instruction on processors that support this feature. This will
provide speedup over using CRC32 instruction only.
The usage of PCLMULQDQ necessitate the invocation of kernel_fpu_begin and
kernel_fpu_end and incur some overhead.  So the new crc_pcl function is only
invoked for buffer size of 512 bytes or more.  Larger sized
buffers will expect to see greater speedup.  This feature is best used coupled
with eager_fpu which reduces the kernel_fpu_begin/end overhead.  For
buffer size of 1K the speedup is around 1.6x and for buffer size greater than
4K, the speedup is around 3x compared to original implementation in crc32c-intel
module. Test was performed on Sandy Bridge based platform with constant frequency
set for cpu.
