Because net crc api is not thread-safe, setting crc algorithm by the application will prevent race condition in the calc function. Race condition still may occur when any of the threads will call this function again. Function is called with the highest possible SIMD extension, which is AVX512, but if this is not found, CRC API will pick the other highest possible extension, or scalar if no SIMD available.
