Subject: [PATCH] raid6: add Kconfig option to skip raid6 benchmarking

Adds CONFIG_RAID6_FORCE_ALGO, which causes the kernel to not benchmark
each raid recovery and syndrome generation algorithm, and instead use
the version selected via Kconfig (CONFIG_RAID6_FORCE_{INT,SSSE3,AVX2}).
In the case, the selected algorithm is not supported by the processor at
runtime, a fallback is used.

+		If this option is not set, on every boot the kernel will
+		benchmark each optimized version of the RAID6 recovery and
+		syndrome generation algorithms and will select the one that
+		performs best. Microbenchmarking each version negatively
+		affects boot time.
+
+		Enabling this option skips the benchmark at boot, and
+		instead always uses the algorithm selected. The only exception
+		is if the selected algorithm relies on a cpu feature not
+		supported at runtime. In this case, one of the lower performance
+		fallbacks are used.
