Subject: [PATCH v5 1/1] use crc32 instead of md5 for hibernation e820 integrity check

Suspend fails on a system in fips mode because md5 is used for the e820
integrity check and is not available. Use crc32 instead.

This patch changes the integrity check algorithm from md5 to
crc32. This integrity check is used only to verify accidental
corruption of the hybernation data and is not intended as a
cryptographic integrity check.
Md5 is overkill in this case and also disabled in FIPS mode because it
is known to be broken for cryptographic purposes.

Fixes: 62a03defeabd ("PM / hibernate: Verify the consistent of e820 memory map
       by md5 digest")

v1 -> v2
   bump up RESTORE_MAGIC
v2 -> v3
   move embelishment from cover letter to commit comments (no code change)
v3 -> v4
   add note to comments that md5 isn't used for encryption here.
v4 -> v5
   reword comment per Simo's suggestion
