x86/crc32: optimize tail handling for crc32c short inputs

For handling the 0 <= len < sizeof(unsigned long) bytes left at the end,
do a 4-2-1 step-down instead of a byte-at-a-time loop.  This allows
taking advantage of wider CRC instructions.  Note that crc32c-3way.S
already uses this same optimization too.

crc_kunit shows an improvement of about 25% for len=127.
