Subject: [PATCH] crypto/nx842: Mask XERS0 bit in return value


NX842 coprocessor sets 3rd bit in CR register with XER[S0] which is
nothing to do with NX request. Since this bit can be set with other
valuable return status, mast this bit.

One of other bits (INITIATED, BUSY or REJECTED) will be returned for
any given NX request.
