While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This is bad since macros starting with two underscores are names
that are reserved by the C language. It can also be very confusing
for the developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace
coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use
__ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's now standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__
macro that is provided by the compilers.
This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement), with some manual fixups done later while rebasing the
patch.

Provide the s390 specific vdso getrandom() architecture backend.
_vdso_rng_data required data is placed within the _vdso_data vvar page,
by using a hardcoded offset larger than vdso_data.
As required the chacha20 implementation does not write to the stack.
The implementation follows more or less the arm64 implementations and
makes use of vector instructions. It has a fallback to the getrandom()
system call for machines where the vector facility is not installed.
The check if the vector facility is installed, as well as an
optimization for machines with the vector-enhancements facility 2, is
implemented with alternatives, avoiding runtime checks.
Note that __kernel_getrandom() is implemented without the vdso user
wrapper which would setup a stack frame for odd cases (aka very old
glibc variants) where the caller has not done that. All callers of
__kernel_getrandom() are required to setup a stack frame, like the C ABI
requires it.
The vdso testcases vdso_test_getrandom and vdso_test_chacha pass.
Benchmark on a z16:
$ ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
vdso: 25000000 times in 0.493703559 seconds
syscall: 25000000 times in 6.584025337 seconds

With csum_partial(), which reads all bytes into registers it is easy to
also implement csum_partial_copy_nocheck() which copies the buffer while
calculating its checksum.
For a 512 byte buffer this reduces the runtime by 19%. Compared to the old
generic variant (memcpy() + cksm instruction) runtime is reduced by 42%).

Provide a faster variant of csum_partial() which uses vector registers
instead of the cksm instruction.

Move, rename, and merge the fpu and vx header files. This way fpu header
files have a consistent naming scheme (fpu*.h).
Also get rid of the fpu subdirectory and move header files to asm
directory, so that all fpu and vx header files can be found at the same
location.
Merge internal.h header file into other header files, since the internal
helpers are used at many locations. so those helper functions are really
not internal.
