[PATCH v2 00/20] Migrate x86 and RISC-V accelerated AES modes into library

This series applies to v7.3-rc4.  It can also be retrieved from:

    git fetch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux.git aes-lib-x86-riscv-v2

Patch 1 was already applied to libcrypto-fixes, but is resent to make
this series applicable directly to v7.3-rc4 (ensuring that the Sashiko
review runs).  Patches 2-20 are targeting libcrypto-next for 7.4.

This series migrates the x86 and RISC-V accelerated implementations of
the AES modes ECB, CBC, CBC-CTS, CTR, XCTR, and XTS into lib/crypto/.

This makes the corresponding library APIs be properly accelerated on
these architectures, while still accelerating crypto_skcipher as well
(via the library-based code in crypto/aes.c).

It removes a lot of redundant glue code, since crypto API boilerplate no
longer needs to be duplicated per-architecture.

Finally, it fixes the longstanding issue where these optimizations were
disabled by default.

In the case of RISC-V, this series handles all remaining AES code in
arch/riscv/crypto/.  In the case of x86, AES-GCM is still left in
arch/x86/crypto/ for now; it will be handled later.  Other architectures
will be handled later as well.

For various reasons, aesni-intel_asm.S (the x86-accelerated ECB, CBC,
CBC-CTS, CTR, and XTS code that doesn't use AVX or VAES) is replaced
with new functions written from scratch.  The other assembly functions
are kept but are modified slightly for integration into the library.

Changed in v2:
   - Fixed 32-bit x86 bisection hazards by making aesni-intel depend on
     CONFIG_64BIT earlier in the series.

   - Fixed handling of lengths over S32_MAX in RISC-V CTR code.

   - Restored selection of CRYPTO_SKCIPHER by CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL, since
     it is still needed.

   - Made the 32-bit x86 XTS code spill the tweaks to the stack rather
     than to the destination buffer.

   - Removed the no-longer-needed single block special case from the
     RISC-V CBC-CTS assembly code.

   - Made x86 CBC-CTS encryption and decryption share more code.

   - Reordered the function parameters in aes-xts-avx-x86_64.S and
     aes-ctr-avx-x86_64.S.

   - Other miscellaneous cleanups.
