Subject: [PATCH v5 1/4] asm-generic: Improve csum_fold

This csum_fold implementation introduced into arch/arc by Vineet Gupta
is better than the default implementation on at least arc, x86, arm, and
riscv. Using GCC trunk and compiling non-inlined version, this
implementation has 41.6667%, 25%, 16.6667% fewer instructions on
riscv64, x86-64, and arm64 respectively with -O3 optimization.
