[PATCH 01/20] crypto: aes - Fix undesired override of some optimized AES modes

[Eric Biggers]

The new library APIs for AES encryption modes were wired up to the
traditional crypto API via crypto/aes.c.  However, for now the kernel is
still in a transitional state where various architectures still have
architecture-optimized implementations of AES modes in arch/*/crypto/,
wired up to the traditional crypto API only.  Because of that, the
crypto/aes.c algorithms were given a cra_priority of only 110 to prevent
them from overriding arch/*/crypto/ in the traditional crypto API.

However, because of how the traditional crypto API works, the
cra_priority trick doesn't work in cases where the relevant algorithm
isn't directly implemented by arch/*/crypto/ but rather is provided by a
template instance using other code in arch/*/crypto/.

For example, x86 doesn't have its own "ccm(aes)" but rather relies on
the "ccm" template constructing it from the x86-optimized "ctr(aes)".
The existence of the library-based "ccm(aes)" prevents that, even though
its priority is lower than what the template would produce.

Thus, "ccm(aes)" ends up using the slower single-block AES code.

Of course, this problem will go away as architecture-optimized
implementations of AES modes are migrated into the library.  But until
then, we need to ensure that code continues to be used.

Therefore, skip wiring up the relevant library-based code to the
traditional crypto API on architectures where this problem can occur, as
determined by what exists in arch/*/crypto/ for each architecture.

Note: "xts(aes)" is left alone.  Though the "xts" template can use
"ecb(aes)" as an inner algorithm, in practice this isn't very efficient
and a dedicated "xts(aes)" is already provided in all the important
cases anyway.  (This omission is also consistent with the fact that the
library isn't planned to provide a similar ECB-to-XTS "adapter".)
