Move the raid6 code to live in lib/raid/ with the XOR code, and change the
internal organization so that each architecture has a subdirectory similar
to the CRC, crypto and XOR libraries, and fix up the Makefile to only
build files actually needed.
Also move the kunit test case from the history test/ subdirectory to
tests/ and use the normal naming scheme for it.

With the test code ported to kernel space, none of this is required.

On Ubuntu 21.10 (ppc64le) building raid6test with gcc (Ubuntu
11.2.0-7ubuntu2) 11.2.0 fails with the error below.
gcc -I.. -I ../../../include -g -O2 \
-I../../../arch/powerpc/include -DCONFIG_ALTIVEC \
-c -o vpermxor1.o vpermxor1.c
vpermxor1.c: In function ‘raid6_vpermxor1_gen_syndrome_real’:
vpermxor1.c:64:29: error: expected string literal before ‘VPERMXOR’
64 | asm(VPERMXOR(%0,%1,%2,%3):"=v"(wq0):"v"(gf_high), "v"(gf_low), "v"(wq0));
| ^~~~~~~~
make: *** [Makefile:58: vpermxor1.o] Error 1
So, include the header asm/ppc-opcode.h defining this macro also when
not building the Linux kernel but only this too.

This patch uses the vpermxor instruction to optimise the raid6 Q
syndrome. This instruction was made available with POWER8, ISA version
2.07. It allows for both vperm and vxor instructions to be done in a
single instruction. This has been tested for correctness on a ppc64le
vm with a basic RAID6 setup containing 5 drives.
The performance benchmarks are from the raid6test in the
/lib/raid6/test directory. These results are from an IBM Firestone
machine with ppc64le architecture. The benchmark results show a 35%
speed increase over the best existing algorithm for powerpc (altivec).
The raid6test has also been run on a big-endian ppc64 vm to ensure it
also works for big-endian architectures.
Performance benchmarks:
raid6: altivecx4 gen() 18773 MB/s
raid6: altivecx8 gen() 19438 MB/s
raid6: vpermxor4 gen() 25112 MB/s
raid6: vpermxor8 gen() 26279 MB/s
