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.

The PMULL based CRC32 implementation already contains code based on the
separate, optional CRC32 instructions to fallback to when operating on
small quantities of data. We can expose these routines directly on systems
that lack the 64x64 PMULL instructions but do implement the CRC32 ones,
which makes the driver that is based solely on those CRC32 instructions
redundant. So remove it.
Note that this aligns arm64 with ARM, whose accelerated CRC32 driver
also combines the CRC32 extension based and the PMULL based versions.

This is a combination of the the Intel algorithm implemented using SSE
and PCLMULQDQ instructions from arch/x86/crypto/crc32-pclmul_asm.S, and
the new CRC32 extensions introduced for both 32-bit and 64-bit ARM in
version 8 of the architecture. Two versions of the above combo are
provided, one for CRC32 and one for CRC32C.
The PMULL/NEON algorithm is faster, but operates on blocks of at least
64 bytes, and on multiples of 16 bytes only. For the remaining input,
or for all input on systems that lack the PMULL 64x64->128 instructions,
the CRC32 instructions will be used.
