[RFC PATCH 5/9] arm64: chacha-neon: move frame pop forward

Instead of branching back to the common exit point of the routine to pop
the stack frame and return to the caller, move the frame pop to right
after the point where we last use the callee save registers. This
simplifies the generation of CFI unwind metadata, and reduces the number
of needed branches.
