Subject: [PATCH 4.14 35/36] crypto: vmx - Remove overly verbose printk from AES XTS init

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@...erman.id.au>

commit 730f23b66095a700e2f0786abda6bca011b31558 upstream.

In p8_aes_xts_init() we do a printk(KERN_INFO ...) to report the
fallback implementation we're using. However with a slow console this
can significantly affect the speed of crypto operations. So remove it.
