Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/9] arm64: aes-neonbs: move frame pop to end of function

In order to decomplicate the generation of CFI unwind metadata for the
AES-CTR routine, which would involve preserving/restoring the virtual
register set to convey that the state during the handling of inputs less
than 8 blocks [which is emitted out of line] equals the state before the
frame pop, let's just move it to the end of the function.
