Sorry :(, I have not specifically searched for the use of this algorithm
in the kernel.

When I used perf to test the performance of the libz library before,
I saw that the adler32 algorithm occupies a lot of hot spots.I just
saw this algorithm used in the kernel code, so I think optimizing this
algorithm may have some positive optimization effects on the kernel.:)
