[RFC PATCH 2/5] crypto: skcipher - disallow en/decrypt for non-task or non-softirq context

[Ard Biesheuvel]

In order to ensure that kernel mode SIMD routines will not need a scalar
fallback if they run with softirqs disabled, disallow any use of the
skcipher encrypt and decrypt routines from outside of task or softirq
context.
