Subject: [PATCH 23/36] crypto: arm/ghash - Use new AES library API

Switch from the old AES library functions (which use struct
crypto_aes_ctx) to the new ones (which use struct aes_enckey).  This
eliminates the unnecessary computation and caching of the decryption
round keys.  The new AES en/decryption functions are also much faster
and use AES instructions when supported by the CPU.

Note: aes_encrypt_new() will be renamed to aes_encrypt() once all
callers of the old aes_encrypt() have been updated.
