When the crypto library provides an optimized implementation of sha256_finup_2x(), use it to interleave the hashing of pairs of data blocks. On some CPUs this nearly doubles hashing performance. The increase in overall throughput of cold-cache dm-verity reads that I'm seeing on arm64 and x86_64 is roughly 35% (though this metric is hard to measure as it jumps around a lot). For now this is done only on data blocks, not Merkle tree blocks. We could use sha256_finup_2x() on Merkle tree blocks too, but that is less important as there aren't as many Merkle tree blocks as data blocks, and that would require some additional code restructuring.
