[PATCH v3 1/4] crypto: aegis128 - wipe plaintext and tag if decryption fails

[Ard Biesheuvel]

The AEGIS spec mentions explicitly that the security guarantees hold
only if the resulting plaintext and tag of a failed decryption are
withheld. So ensure that we abide by this.

While at it, drop the unused struct aead_request *req parameter from
crypto_aegis128_process_crypt().
