x86/csum: Improve performance of `csum_partial`

1) Add special case for len == 40 as that is the hottest value. The
   nets a ~8-9% latency improvement and a ~30% throughput improvement
   in the len == 40 case.

2) Use multiple accumulators in the 64-byte loop. This dramatically
   improves ILP and results in up to a 40% latency/throughput
   improvement (better for more iterations).

Results from benchmarking on Icelake. Times measured with rdtsc()
