crypto: x86/cast - stop using the SIMD helper
Stop wrapping skcipher and aead algorithms with the crypto SIMD helper (crypto/simd.c). The only purpose of doing so was to work around x86 not always supporting kernel-mode FPU in softirqs. Specifically, if a hardirq interrupted a task context kernel-mode FPU section and then a softirqs were run at the end of that hardirq, those softirqs could not use kernel-mode FPU. This has now been fixed. In combination with the fact that the skcipher and aead APIs only support task and softirq contexts, these can now just use kernel-mode FPU unconditionally on x86. This simplifies the code and improves performance. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
