Subject: [PATCH] Drop -funroll-loops for csum_partial_64.c

Drop -funroll-loops for csum_partial_64.c

I did some rebenchmarking with modern compilers and dropping 
-funroll-loops makes the function consistently go faster by a few
percent.  So drop that flag.

Thanks to Richard Guenther for a hint.
