To get rid of the variable length arrays on stack in the RS decoder it's
necessary to allocate the decoder buffers per control structure instance.
All usage sites have been checked for potential parallel decoder usage and
fixed where necessary. Kees confirmed that the pstore decoding is strictly
single threaded so there should be no surprises.
Allocate them in the rs control structure sized depending on the number of
roots for the chosen codec and adapt the decoder code to make use of them.
Document the fact that decode operations based on a particular rs control
instance cannot run in parallel and the caller has to ensure that as it's
not possible to provide a proper locking construct which fits all use
cases.

The decoder library uses variable length arrays on stack. To get rid of
them it would be simple to allocate fixed length arrays on stack, but those
might become rather large. The other solution is to allocate the buffers in
the rs control structure, but this cannot be done as long as the structure
can be shared by several users. Sharing is desired because the RS polynom
tables are large and initialization is time consuming.
To solve this split the codec information out of the control structure and
have a pointer to a shared codec in it. Instantiate the control structure
for each user, create a new codec if no shareable is avaiable yet. Adjust
all affected usage sites to the new scheme.
This allows to add per instance decoder buffers to the control structure
later on.

Now that SPDX identifiers are in place, remove the GPL boiler plate
text. Leave the notices which document that Phil Karn granted permission in
place (encode/decode source code). The modified files are code written for

The Reed-Solomon library is based on code from Phil Karn who granted
permission to import it into the kernel under the GPL V2.
See commit 15b5423757a7 ("Shared Reed-Solomon ECC library") in the history

The encoder/decoder code is lifted from the GPL'd userspace RS-library
written by Phil Karn. I modified/wrapped it to provide the different
functions which we need in the MTD/NAND code.

The rslib usage in dm/verity_fec is broken because init_rs() can nest in
GFP_NOIO mempool allocations as init_rs() is invoked from the mempool alloc
callback.
Provide a variant which takes gfp_t flags as argument.

For the CAFÉ NAND controller, we need to support non-canonical
representations of the Galois field. Allow the caller to provide its own
function for generating the field, and CAFÉ can use rslib instead of its
own implementation.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
