Provide a faster variant of csum_partial() which uses vector registers
instead of the cksm instruction.

The kernel_fpu structure has a quite large size of 520 bytes. In order to
reduce stack footprint introduce several kernel fpu structures with
different and also smaller sizes. This way every kernel fpu user must use
the correct variant. A compile time check verifies that the correct variant
is used.
There are several users which use only 16 instead of all 32 vector
registers. For those users the new kernel_fpu_16 structure with a size of
only 266 bytes can be used.

The anonymous union within struct fpu contains a floating point register
array and a vector register array. Given that the vector register is always
present remove the floating point register array. For configurations
without vector registers save the floating point register contents within
their corresponding vector register location.
This allows to remove the union, and also to simplify ptrace and perf code.

KVM was the only user which modified the regs pointer in struct fpu. Remove
the pointer and convert the rest of the core fpu code to directly access
the save area embedded within struct fpu.

Change type of fpu mask consistently from u32 to int. This is a
prerequisite to make the kernel fpu usage preemptible. Upcoming code
uses __atomic* ops which work with int pointers.

Convert the rather large __kernel_fpu_begin()/__kernel_fpu_end() inline
assemblies to C. The C variant is much more readable, and this also allows
to get rid of the non-obvious usage of KERNEL_VXR_* constants within the
inline assemblies. E.g. "tmll %[m],6" correlates with the two bits set in
KERNEL_VXR_LOW. If the corresponding defines would be changed, the inline
assembles would break in a subtle way.
Therefore convert to C, use the proper defines, and allow the compiler to
generate code using the (hopefully) most efficient instructions.

Move, rename, and merge the fpu and vx header files. This way fpu header
files have a consistent naming scheme (fpu*.h).
Also get rid of the fpu subdirectory and move header files to asm
directory, so that all fpu and vx header files can be found at the same
location.
Merge internal.h header file into other header files, since the internal
helpers are used at many locations. so those helper functions are really
not internal.
