Math: Optimize 16-bit matrix multiplication function

Performed multiple optimization in the 16-bit matrix
multiplication function.

- This check-in changed accumulator data type from
int64_t to int32_t , reducing the instruction cycle
count by ~8.18% gain for matrix multiplication.
- Enhanced pointer arithmetic within for loops
- Eliminated unnecessary conditionals by directly
handling Q0 data within algorithm core logic

These optimization yied a ~36.31% reduction in
memory usage for matrix multplication function
