Merge tag 'crc-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux

Pull CRC updates from Eric Biggers:

- Reorganize the architecture-optimized CRC32 and CRC-T10DIF code to be
directly accessible via the library API, instead of requiring the
crypto API. This is much simpler and more efficient.

- Convert some users such as ext4 to use the CRC32 library API instead
of the crypto API. More conversions like this will come later.

- Add a KUnit test that tests and benchmarks multiple CRC variants.
Remove older, less-comprehensive tests that are made redundant by
this.

- Add an entry to MAINTAINERS for the kernel's CRC library code. I'm
volunteering to maintain it. I have additional cleanups and
optimizations planned for future cycles.

x86/crc-t10dif: expose CRC-T10DIF function through lib

Move the x86 CRC-T10DIF assembly code into the lib directory and wire it
up to the library interface. This allows it to be used without going
through the crypto API. It remains usable via the crypto API too via
the shash algorithms that use the library interface. Thus all the
arch-specific "shash" code becomes unnecessary and is removed.
