kernel test robot reported a build error on this patch,
"undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_crc32_armv8_le".  It's because crc32-core.S
uses SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START(crc32_armv8_le), and this patch makes crc32_armv8_le
be called only via direct calls, not indirect calls as it was before.  I will
fix this by replacing SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START by SYM_FUNC_START.
