x86/csum: Improve performance of `csum_partial`

1) Add special case for len == 40 as that is the hottest value. The
   nets a ~8-9% latency improvement and a ~30% throughput improvement
   in the len == 40 case.

2) Use multiple accumulators in the 64-byte loop. This dramatically
   improves ILP and results in up to a 40% latency/throughput
   improvement (better for more iterations).

Results from benchmarking on Icelake. Times measured with rdtsc()

There is no such thing as a free lunch, however, and the special case
for len == 40 does add overhead to the len != 40 cases. This seems to
amount to be ~5% throughput and slightly less in terms of latency.

Testing:
Part of this change is a new kunit test. The tests check all
alignment X length pairs in [0, 64) X [0, 512).
There are three cases.
    1) Precomputed random inputs/seed. The expected results where
       generated use the generic implementation (which is assumed to be
       non-buggy).
    2) An input of all 1s. The goal of this test is to catch any case
       a carry is missing.
    3) An input that never carries. The goal of this test si to catch
       any case of incorrectly carrying.

More exhaustive tests that test all alignment X length pairs in
[0, 8192) X [0, 8192] on random data are also available here:

The reposity also has the code for reproducing the above benchmark
numbers.
