The AES assembler code for x86 isn't actually faster than code
generated by the compiler from aes_generic.c, and considering
the disproportionate maintenance burden of assembler code on
x86, it is better just to drop it entirely. Modern x86 systems
will use AES-NI anyway, and given that the modules being removed
have a dependency on aes_generic already, we can remove them
without running the risk of regressions.

When using the "aes-asm" implementation of AES (*not* the AES-NI
implementation) on an x86_64, v4.12-rc1 kernel with lockdep enabled, the
following warning was reported, along with a long unwinder dump:
WARNING: kernel stack regs at ffffc90000643558 in kworker/u4:2:155 has bad 'bp' value 000000000000001c
The problem is that aes_enc_block() and aes_dec_block() use %rbp as a
temporary register, which breaks stack traces if an interrupt occurs.
Fix this by replacing %rbp with %r9, which was being used to hold the
saved value of %rbp. This required rearranging the AES round macro
slightly since %r9d cannot be used as the target of a move from %ah-%dh.
Performance is essentially unchanged --- actually about 0.2% faster than
before. Interestingly, I also measured aes-generic as being nearly 7%
faster than aes-asm, so perhaps aes-asm has outlived its usefulness...

Intel AES-NI AES acceleration instructions touch XMM state, to use
that in soft_irq context, general x86 AES implementation is used as
fallback. The first parameter is changed from struct crypto_tfm * to
struct crypto_aes_ctx * to make it easier to deal with 16 bytes
alignment requirement of AES-NI implementation.

The Intel AES-NI AES acceleration instructions need key_enc, key_dec
in struct crypto_aes_ctx to be 16 byte aligned, it make this easier to
move key_length to be the last one.

The setkey() function can be shared with the generic algorithm.
