Subject: [PATCH 3.16 092/192] crypto: sha1-ssse3 - Disable avx2

3.16.49-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au>

commit b82ce24426a4071da9529d726057e4e642948667 upstream.

It has been reported that sha1-avx2 can cause page faults by reading
beyond the end of the input.  This patch disables it until it can be
fixed.

Fixes: 7c1da8d0d046 ("crypto: sha - SHA1 transform x86_64 AVX2")
Reported-by: Jan Stancek <jstancek@...hat.com>
