[PATCH v4 15/19] lib/crc32: make crc32c() go directly to lib

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

Now that the lower level __crc32c_le() library function is optimized for
each architecture, make crc32c() just call that instead of taking an
inefficient and error-prone detour through the shash API.

Note: a future cleanup should make crc32c_le() be the actual library
function instead of __crc32c_le().  That will require updating callers
of __crc32c_le() to use crc32c_le() instead, and updating callers of
crc32c_le() that expect a 'const void *' arg to expect 'const u8 *'
instead.  Similarly, a future cleanup should remove LIBCRC32C by making
everyone who is selecting it just select CRC32 directly instead.
