* resize: HResizeLinear reduce duplicate work
There appears to be a 2x unroll of the HResizeLinear against k,
however the k value is only incremented by 1 during the unroll. This
results in k - 1 duplicate passes when k > 1.
Likewise, the final pass may not respect the work done by the vector
loop. Start it with the offset returned by the vector op if
implemented. Note, no vector ops are implemented today.
The performance is most noticable on a linear downscale. A set of
performance tests are added to characterize this. The performance
improvement is 10-50% depending on the scaling.
* imgproc: vectorize HResizeLinear
Performance is mostly gated by the gather operations
for x inputs.
Likewise, provide a 2x unroll against k, this reduces the
number of alpha gathers by 1/2 for larger k.
While not a 4x improvement, it still performs substantially
better under P9 for a 1.4x improvement. P8 baseline is
1.05-1.10x due to reduced VSX instruction set.
For float types, this results in a more modest
1.2x improvement.
* Update U8 processing for non-bitexact linear resize
* core: hal: vsx: improve v_load_expand_q
With a little help, we can do this quickly without gprs on
all VSX enabled targets.
* resize: Fix cn == 3 step per feedback
Per feedback, ensure we don't overrun. This was caught via the
failure observed in Test_TensorFlow.inception_accuracy.
