[PATCH v4 02/21] crypto/arm64: sm4-ce-ccm - Avoid pointless yield of the NEON unit

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb at kernel.org>

Kernel mode NEON sections are now preemptible on arm64, and so there is
no need to yield it when calling APIs that may sleep.

Also, move the calls to kernel_neon_end() to the same scope as
kernel_neon_begin(). This is needed for a subsequent change where a
stack buffer is allocated transparently and passed to
kernel_neon_begin().
