With csum_partial(), which reads all bytes into registers it is easy to
also implement csum_partial_copy_nocheck() which copies the buffer while
calculating its checksum.

For a 512 byte buffer this reduces the runtime by 19%. Compared to the old
generic variant (memcpy() + cksm instruction) runtime is reduced by 42%).

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

Instead of using local_mcck_disable() / local_mcck_enable() implement and
use local_mcck_save() / local_mcck_restore() to disable machine checks, and
restoring the previous state.

The problem with using local_mcck_disable() / local_mcck_enable() is that
there is an assumption that machine checks are always enabled. While this
is currently the case the code still looks quite odd, readers need to
double check if the code is correct.

In order to increase readability save and then restore the old machine
check mask bit, instead of assuming that it must have been enabled.

<title>s390/ctlreg: add local and system prefix to some functions</title>

<content type='text'>
Add local and system prefix to some functions to clarify they change
control register contents on either the local CPU or the on all CPUs.

This results in the following API:

Two defines which load and save multiple control registers.
The defines correlate with the following C prototypes:

void __local_ctl_load(unsigned long *, unsigned int cr_low, unsigned int cr_high);
void __local_ctl_store(unsigned long *, unsigned int cr_low, unsigned int cr_high);

Two functions which locally set or clear one bit for a specified
control register:

void local_ctl_set_bit(unsigned int cr, unsigned int bit);
void local_ctl_clear_bit(unsigned int cr, unsigned int bit);

Two functions which set or clear one bit for a specified control
register on all CPUs:

void system_ctl_set_bit(unsigned int cr, unsigned int bit);
void system_ctl_clear_bit(unsigend int cr, unsigned int bit);

Include linux/io.h instead of asm/io.h everywhere. linux/io.h includes
asm/io.h, so this shouldn't cause any problems. Instead this might help for
some randconfig build errors which were reported due to some undefined io
related functions.

Also move the changed include so it stays grouped together with other
includes from the same directory.

For ctcm_mpc.c also remove not needed comments (actually questions).
