crypto: arm64/aes-blk - improve XTS mask handling
The Crypto Extension instantiation of the aes-modes.S collection of skciphers uses only 15 NEON registers for the round key array, whereas the pure NEON flavor uses 16 NEON registers for the AES S-box. This means we have a spare register available that we can use to hold the XTS mask vector, removing the need to reload it at every iteration of the inner loop. Since the pure NEON version does not permit this optimization, tweak the macros so we can factor out this functionality. Also, replace the literal load with a short sequence to compose the mask vector. On Cortex-A53, this results in a ~4% speedup.
