This is needed to allow memory tools like KASAN and KMSAN see the
memory accesses from the checksum code. Without CONFIG_GENERIC_CSUM the
tools can't see memory accesses originating from handwritten assembly
code.
For KASAN it's a question of detecting more bugs, for KMSAN using the C
implementation also helps avoid false positives originating from
seemingly uninitialized checksum values.
