[PATCH v2 2/3] lib/raid6: Optimizing the raid6_select_algo time through asynchronous processing

From: sunliming <[email protected]>

Optimizing the raid6_select_algo time. In raid6_select_algo(), an raid6 gen
algorithm is first selected quickly through synchronous processing, while
the time-consuming process of selecting the optimal algorithm via benchmarking
is handled asynchronously. This approach speeds up the overall startup time
and ultimately ensures the selection of an optimal algorithm.
