Subject: crypto: powerpc - Fix initialisation of crc32c context

From: Daniel Axtens <dja@axtens.net>

commit aa2be9b3d6d2d699e9ca7cbfc00867c80e5da213 upstream.

Turning on crypto self-tests on a POWER8 shows:

    alg: hash: Test 1 failed for crc32c-vpmsum
    00000000: ff ff ff ff

Comparing the code with the Intel CRC32c implementation on which
ours is based shows that we are doing an init with 0, not ~0
as CRC32c requires.

This probably wasn't caught because btrfs does its own weird
open-coded initialisation.

Initialise our internal context to ~0 on init.

This makes the self-tests pass, and btrfs continues to work.
