The raid6 syndrome functions are generated for different sizes and have
no generic prototype, while in the inner functions have a prototype
in a header that cannot be included from the correct file. In both
cases, the compiler warns about missing prototypes:
lib/raid6/recov_neon_inner.c:27:6: warning: no previous prototype for '__raid6_2data_recov_neon' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
lib/raid6/recov_neon_inner.c:77:6: warning: no previous prototype for '__raid6_datap_recov_neon' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
lib/raid6/neon1.c:56:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'raid6_neon1_gen_syndrome_real' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
lib/raid6/neon1.c:86:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'raid6_neon1_xor_syndrome_real' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
lib/raid6/neon2.c:56:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'raid6_neon2_gen_syndrome_real' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
lib/raid6/neon2.c:97:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'raid6_neon2_xor_syndrome_real' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
lib/raid6/neon4.c:56:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'raid6_neon4_gen_syndrome_real' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
lib/raid6/neon4.c:119:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'raid6_neon4_xor_syndrome_real' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
lib/raid6/neon8.c:56:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'raid6_neon8_gen_syndrome_real' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
lib/raid6/neon8.c:163:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'raid6_neon8_xor_syndrome_real' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
Add a new header file that contains the prototypes for both to avoid
the warnings.

Clang warns: vector initializers are not compatible with NEON intrinsics
in big endian mode [-Wnonportable-vector-initialization]
While this is usually the case, it's not an issue for this case since
we're initializing the uint8x16_t (16x uint8_t's) with the same value.
Instead, use vdupq_n_u8 which both compilers lower into a single movi
instruction: https://godbolt.org/z/vBrgzt
This avoids the static storage for a constant value.

The P/Q left side optimization in the delta syndrome simply involves
repeatedly multiplying a value by polynomial 'x' in GF(2^8). Given
that 'x * x * x * x' equals 'x^4' even in the polynomial world, we
can accelerate this substantially by performing up to 4 such operations
at once, using the NEON instructions for polynomial multiplication.
Results on a Cortex-A57 running in 64-bit mode:
Before:
-------
raid6: neonx1 xor() 1680 MB/s
raid6: neonx2 xor() 2286 MB/s
raid6: neonx4 xor() 3162 MB/s
raid6: neonx8 xor() 3389 MB/s
After:
------
raid6: neonx1 xor() 2281 MB/s
raid6: neonx2 xor() 3362 MB/s
raid6: neonx4 xor() 3787 MB/s
raid6: neonx8 xor() 4239 MB/s
While we're at it, simplify MASK() by using a signed shift rather than
a vector compare involving a temp register.

Rebased/reworked a patch contributed by Rob Herring that uses
NEON intrinsics to perform the RAID-6 syndrome calculations.
It uses the existing unroll.awk code to generate several
unrolled versions of which the best performing one is selected
at boot time.
