Subject: [GIT PULL] arm64 regression fix for 4.18

Hi Linus,

Ard found a nasty arm64 regression in 4.18 where the AES ghash/gcm code
doesn't notify the kernel about its use of the vector registers, therefore
potentially corrupting live user state. The fix is straightforward and
Herbert agreed for it to go via arm64.

Please pull.

Thanks,

Will
