Dirk Müller 38640c4809 lib/raid6: skip benchmark of non-chosen xor_syndrome functions
In commit fe5cbc6e06c7 ("md/raid6 algorithms: delta syndrome functions")
a xor_syndrome() benchmarking was added also to the raid6_choose_gen()
function. However, the results of that benchmarking were intentionally
discarded and did not influence the choice. It picked the
xor_syndrome() variant related to the best performing gen_syndrome().

Reduce runtime of raid6_choose_gen() without modifying its outcome by
only benchmarking the xor_syndrome() of the best gen_syndrome() variant.

For a HZ=250 x86_64 system with avx2 and without avx512 this removes
5 out of 6 xor() benchmarks, saving 340ms of raid6 initialization time.
