lib: crc32: constify crc32 lookup table
Commit 8f243af42ade ("sections: fix const sections for crc32 table")
removed the compile-time generated crc32 tables from the RO sections,
because it conflicts with the definition of __cacheline_aligned which
puts all such aligned data into .data..cacheline_aligned section
optimized for wasting less space, and can cause alignment issues when
used in combination with const with some gcc versions like 4.7.0 due to
a gcc bug [1].
Given that most gcc versions should have the fix by now, we can just use
____cacheline_aligned, which only aligns the data but doesn't move it
into specific sections as opposed to __cacheline_aligned. In case of
gcc versions having the mentioned bug, the alignment attribute will have
no effect, but the data will still be made RO.
After patch tables are in RO:
$ nm -v lib/crc32.o | grep -1 -E "crc32c?table"
0000000000000000 t arch_local_irq_enable
0000000000000000 r crc32ctable_le
0000000000000000 t crc32_exit
