[PATCH] x86/lib: Remove the special case for odd-aligned buffers in csum_partial.c

There is no need to special case the very unusual odd-aligned buffers.
They are no worse than 4n+2 aligned buffers.

On an i7-7700 misaligned buffers add 2 or 3 clocks (in 115) to a 512 byte
  checksum.
That is just measuring the main loop with an lfence prior to rdpmc to
read PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES.
