[PATCH v2] lib/crc: arm64: use .arch_extension to enable CRC and crypto

[Emanuele Rocca]

Use .arch_extension instead of .arch and .cpu in crc32-core.S and
crc-t10dif-core.S.

.arch and .cpu reset the assembler's feature set, dropping extensions
enabled via -march. See commit 9142c2f8f84b ("octeontx2: use
arch_extension to enable LSE"), where this caused an actual build
failure.

That is not a problem here: the instructions these files use are all
covered by the CRC and crypto extensions. Switch anyway for consistency
and to avoid surprises if the files later use instructions outside
generic+crc+crypto.

.arch_extension is supported by binutils since 2.26 and by clang since
8.0.0, both older than the minimum versions currently required to build
the kernel (2.30 and 17.0.1 respectively).
