[PATCH] lib/crypto: gf128hash: Hide selection mask values from compilers

[Eric Biggers]

Hide selection mask values from compilers, so that they cannot see that
they are used to select between two values and potentially generate a
secret-dependent branch.  This is not known to be happening here, but we
might as well be extra careful.
