Subject: [PATCH] Math: Optimize 16-bit matrix multiplication function

Implemented optimizations in the 16-bit matrix multiplication function
by changing accumulator data type from int64_t to int32_t. This reduces
the instruction cycle count i.e. by ~8.18% for matrix multiplication.

Enhance pointer arithmetic within loops for better readability and
compiler optimization. Eliminate unnecessary conditionals by
directly handling Q0 data in the algorithm core logic.

Performance gains from these optimisation include a 36.31% reduction
in memory usage for matrix multiplication function
