[PATCH] lio-target: Enable crc32c_x86_offload=1 by default

[Nicholas A. Bellinger]

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Greetings all,

This patch enables the default usage of the SSE v4.2 CRC32C instruction
for iSCSI target HeaderDigests and DataDigests offload using libcrypto and
the crc32c-intel.ko module on Nehalem systems.  This was originally disabled
by default in commit 047eeb75ee8f0 due to some issues with HeaderDigests=CRC32C
that where encountered with the Open-iSCSI initiator shipping with RHEL 6 B1.
This has now been identified as initiator side breakage, so we go ahead and
enable crc32c_x86_offload=1 by default when available.

Many thanks again to Mike Christie for verifying the Open-iSCSI side issue!
