LoongArch: Add SIMD-optimized XOR routines

Add LSX and LASX implementations of xor operations, operating on 64
bytes (one L1 cache line) at a time, for a balance between memory
utilization and instruction mix. Huacai confirmed that all future
LoongArch implementations by Loongson (that we care) will likely also
feature 64-byte cache lines, and experiments show no throughput
improvement with further unrolling.

Performance numbers measured during system boot on a 3A5000 @ 2.5GHz:

> 8regs : 12702 MB/sec
> 8regs_prefetch : 10920 MB/sec
> 32regs : 12686 MB/sec
> 32regs_prefetch : 10918 MB/sec
> lsx : 17589 MB/sec
> lasx : 26116 MB/sec

LoongArch: Add support for function error injection

Inspired by the commit 42d038c4fb00f ("arm64: Add support for function
error injection") and the commit ee55ff803b383 ("riscv: Add support for
function error injection"), this patch supports function error injection
for LoongArch.

Mainly implement two functions:
(1) regs_set_return_value() which is used to overwrite the return value,
(2) override_function_with_return() which is used to override the probed
function returning and jump to its caller.

Here is a simple test under CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION and
CONFIG_FAIL_FUNCTION:

# echo sys_clone > /sys/kernel/debug/fail_function/inject
# echo 100 > /sys/kernel/debug/fail_function/probability
# dmesg
bash: fork: Invalid argument
# dmesg
...
FAULT_INJECTION: forcing a failure.
name fail_function, interval 1, probability 100, space 0, times 1
...

LoongArch: Add checksum optimization for 64-bit system

LoongArch platform is 64-bit system, which supports 8-bytes memory
accessing, but generic checksum functions use 4-byte memory access.
So add 8-bytes memory access optimization for checksum functions on
LoongArch. And the code comes from arm64 system.

When network hw checksum is disabled, iperf performance improves about
10% with this patch.

# 61a6fccc 10-Dec-2022 Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@kernel.org>

LoongArch: Add unaligned access support

Loongson-2 series (Loongson-2K500, Loongson-2K1000) don't support
unaligned access in hardware, while Loongson-3 series (Loongson-3A5000,
Loongson-3C5000) are configurable whether support unaligned access in
hardware. This patch add unaligned access emulation for those LoongArch
processors without hardware support.
