crypto: x86/aes-ni - switch to generic for fallback and key routines
The AES-NI code contains fallbacks for invocations that occur from a context where the SIMD unit is unavailable, which really only occurs when running in softirq context that was entered from a hard IRQ that was taken while running kernel code that was already using the FPU. That means performance is not really a consideration, and we can just use the new library code for this use case, which has a smaller footprint and is believed to be time invariant. This will allow us to drop the non-SIMD asm routines in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
