lib/raid6: add option to skip algo benchmarking
This is helpful for systems where fast startup time is important. It is especially nice to avoid benchmarking RAID functions that are never used (for example, BTRFS selects RAID6_PQ even if the parity RAID mode is not in use). This saves 250+ milliseconds of boot time on modern x86 and ARM systems with a dozen or more available implementations. The new option is defaulted to 'y' to match the previous behavior of always benchmarking on init. Signed-off-by: Daniel Verkamp <dverkamp@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>
