Ard Biesheuvel b913a6404c arm64/crypto: improve performance of GHASH algorithm
This patches modifies the GHASH secure hash implementation to switch to a
faster, polynomial multiplication based reduction instead of one that uses
shifts and rotates.

Ard Biesheuvel fdd2389457 arm64/crypto: GHASH secure hash using ARMv8 Crypto Extensions
This is a port to ARMv8 (Crypto Extensions) of the Intel implementation of the
GHASH Secure Hash (used in the Galois/Counter chaining mode). It relies on the
optional PMULL/PMULL2 instruction (polynomial multiply long, what Intel call
carry-less multiply).
