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.
