crypto: inside-secure - fix incorrect skcipher output IV
This patch fixes corruption issues with the skcipher output IV witnessed on x86+EIP197-FPGA (devboard). The original fix, commit 57660b11 ("crypto: inside-secure - implement IV retrieval"), attempted to write out the result IV through the context record. However, this is not a reliable mechanism as there is no way of knowing the hardware context update actually arrived in memory, so it is possible to read the old contents instead of the updated IV. (and indeed, this failed for the x86/FPGA case) The alternative approach used here recognises the fact that the result IV for CBC is actually the last cipher block, which is the last input block in case of decryption and the last output block in case of encryption. So the result IV is taken from the input data buffer respectively the output data buffer instead, which *is* reliable.
