Subject: [PATCH] LoongArch: Select ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER

LA464 and LA664 can do 32-bit/64-bit integer multiplication with a
latency of 4 cycles and a throughput of 2 ops per cycle. It's
comparable to mainstream x86 and arm64 cores, so select
ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER like them.

It speeds up __sw_hweight32 in lib/hweight.c for about 14% on LA464 and
11% on LA664, and __sw_hweight64 for about 30% on LA464 and 33% on
LA664.
