Subject: [PATCH 9/9] fscrypt: Drop obsolete recommendation to enable optimized POLYVAL

CONFIG_CRYPTO_POLYVAL_ARM64_CE and CONFIG_CRYPTO_POLYVAL_CLMUL_NI no
longer exist.  The architecture-optimized POLYVAL code is now just
enabled automatically when HCTR2 support is enabled.  Update the fscrypt
documentation accordingly.
