crypto: sha3-generic - deal with oversize stack frames

As reported by kbuild test robot, the optimized SHA3 C implementation
compiles to mn10300 code that uses a disproportionate amount of stack
space, i.e.,

  crypto/sha3_generic.c: In function 'keccakf':
  crypto/sha3_generic.c:147:1: warning: the frame size of 1232 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

As kindly diagnosed by Arnd, this does not only occur when building for
the mn10300 architecture (which is what the report was about) but also
for h8300, and builds for other 32-bit architectures show an increase in
stack space utilization as well.

Given that SHA3 operates on 64-bit quantities, and keeps a state matrix
of 25 64-bit words, it is not surprising that 32-bit architectures with
few general purpose registers are impacted the most by this, and it is
therefore reasonable to implement a workaround that distinguishes between
32-bit and 64-bit architectures.

Arnd figured out that taking the round calculation out of the loop, and
inlining it explicitly but only on 64-bit architectures preserves most
of the performance gain achieved by the rewrite, and also gets rid of
the excessive use of stack space.
