crypto: xor - use ktime for template benchmarking 

Currently, we use the jiffies counter as a time source, by staring at
it until a HZ period elapses, and then staring at it again and perform
as many XOR operations as we can at the same time until another HZ
period elapses, so that we can calculate the throughput. This takes
longer than necessary, and depends on HZ, which is undesirable, since
HZ is system dependent.

Let's use the ktime interface instead, and use it to time a fixed
number of XOR operations, which can be done much faster, and makes
the time spent depend on the performance level of the system itself,
which is much more reasonable. To ensure that we have the resolution
we need even on systems with 32 kHz time sources, while not spending too
much time in the benchmark on a slow CPU, let's switch to 3 attempts of
800 repetitions each: that way, we will only misidentify algorithms that
perform within 10% of each other as the fastest if they are faster than
10 GB/s to begin with, which is not expected to occur on systems with
such coarse clocks.

On ThunderX2, I get the following results:

Before:

  [72625.956765] xor: measuring software checksum speed
  [72625.993104]    8regs     : 10169.000 MB/sec
  [72626.033099]    32regs    : 12050.000 MB/sec
  [72626.073095]    arm64_neon: 11100.000 MB/sec
  [72626.073097] xor: using function: 32regs (12050.000 MB/sec)

After:

  [72599.650216] xor: measuring software checksum speed
  [72599.651188]    8regs           : 10491 MB/sec
  [72599.652006]    32regs          : 12345 MB/sec
  [72599.652871]    arm64_neon      : 11402 MB/sec
  [72599.652873] xor: using function: 32regs (12345 MB/sec)
