Subject: [PATCH 08/13] crypto: x86/ghash - yield FPU context during long loops

The x86 assembly language implementations using SIMD process data
between kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() calls. That
disables scheduler preemption, so prevents the CPU core from being
used by other threads.

The update() and finup() functions might be called to process
large quantities of data, which can result in RCU stalls and
soft lockups.

Periodically check if the kernel scheduler wants to run something
else on the CPU. If so, yield the kernel FPU context and let the
scheduler intervene.
