  lib/crc32: remove other generic implementations (2025-01-29 09:10:35 -0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Simplify the kconfig options for controlling which CRC implementations
are built into the kernel, as was requested by Linus.  This means making
the option to disable the arch code visible only when CONFIG_EXPERT=y,
and standardizing on a single generic implementation of CRC32.

This has been in linux-next since last Friday.  The late rebase was just
to add review tags.
