Some engines optimize operation by reading ahead in the descriptor chain
such that descriptor2 may start execution before descriptor1 completes.
If descriptor2 depends on the result from descriptor1 then a fence is
required (on descriptor2) to disable this optimization. The async_tx
api could implicitly identify dependencies via the 'depend_tx'
parameter, but that would constrain cases where the dependency chain
only specifies a completion order rather than a data dependency. So,
provide an ASYNC_TX_FENCE to explicitly identify data dependencies.

async_raid6_2data_recov() recovers two data disk failures
async_raid6_datap_recov() recovers a data disk and the P disk
These routines are a port of the synchronous versions found in
drivers/md/raid6recov.c. The primary difference is breaking out the xor
operations into separate calls to async_xor. Two helper routines are
introduced to perform scalar multiplication where needed.
async_sum_product() multiplies two sources by scalar coefficients and
then sums (xor) the result. async_mult() simply multiplies a single
source by a scalar.
This implemention also includes, in contrast to the original
synchronous-only code, special case handling for the 4-disk and 5-disk
array cases. In these situations the default N-disk algorithm will
present 0-source or 1-source operations to dma devices. To cover for
dma devices where the minimum source count is 2 we implement 4-disk and
5-disk handling in the recovery code.
