<content type='text'>
Move all CRC files in lib/ into a subdirectory lib/crc/ to keep them
from cluttering up the main lib/ directory.

Remove crc32_le_combine() and crc32_le_shift(), since they are no longer
used.

Although combination is an interesting thing that can be done with CRCs,
it turned out that none of the users of it in the kernel were even close
to being worthwhile.  All were much better off simply chaining the CRCs
or processing zeroes.

Let's remove the CRC32 combination code for now.  It can come back
(potentially optimized with carryless multiplication instructions) if
there is ever a case where it would actually be worthwhile.

crc32c_combine() and crc32c_shift() are no longer used (except by the
KUnit test that tests them), and their current implementation is very
slow.  Remove them.

Pull CRC updates from Eric Biggers:
 "Another set of improvements to the kernel's CRC (cyclic redundancy
  check) code:

   - Rework the CRC64 library functions to be directly optimized, like
     what I did last cycle for the CRC32 and CRC-T10DIF library
     functions

   - Rewrite the x86 PCLMULQDQ-optimized CRC code, and add VPCLMULQDQ
     support and acceleration for crc64_be and crc64_nvme

   - Rewrite the riscv Zbc-optimized CRC code, and add acceleration for
     crc_t10dif, crc64_be, and crc64_nvme

   - Remove crc_t10dif and crc64_rocksoft from the crypto API, since
     they are no longer needed there

   - Rename crc64_rocksoft to crc64_nvme, as the old name was incorrect

   - Add kunit test cases for crc64_nvme and crc7

   - Eliminate redundant functions for calculating the Castagnoli CRC32,
     settling on just crc32c()

   - Remove unnecessary prompts from some of the CRC kconfig options

   - Further optimize the x86 crc32c code"
