LU-13127 ptlrpc: prefer crc32_le() over CryptoAPI

Prefer to call the crc32_le() library function directly if available,
instead of cfs_crypto_hash(CFS_HASH_ALG_CRC32). It is about 10x faster
for the 156-byte struct ptlrpc_body being checked in this function.
A test of small buffers in that compares the two implementations, run
on a 2.9GHz Core i7-7820 shows the difference is significant here:

  buffer size   156 bytes   1536 bytes   4096 bytes     1 MiB
  -----------+------------+------------+-----------+-----------
  cfs_crypto |  182 MiB/s | 1794 MiB/s | 4163 MB/s | 9631 MiB/s
  crc32_le   | 1947 MiB/s | 1871 MiB/s | 1867 MB/s | 1823 MiB/s

This corresponds to 10x faster or 1/10 as many cycles for ptlrpc_body.
The CryptoAPI speed crosses over around 1536 bytes, which is still 10x
larger than the ptlrpc_body size, so it is unlikely to be faster here.
