crypto: omap-aes - Don't idle/start AES device between Encrypt operations
Calling runtime PM API for every block causes serious perf hit to crypto operations that are done on a long buffer. As crypto is performed on a page boundary, encrypting large buffers can cause a series of crypto operations divided by page. The runtime PM API is also called those many times. We call runtime_pm_get_sync only at beginning on the session (cra_init) and runtime_pm_put at the end. This result in upto a 50% speedup as below. This doesn't make the driver to keep the system awake as runtime get/put is only called during a crypto session which completes usually quickly.
