[PATCH 2/2] crypto: arm64/crct10dif - revert to C code for short inputs

[Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>]

The SIMD routine ported from x86 used to have a special code path
for inputs < 16 bytes, which got lost somewhere along the way.
Instead, the current glue code aligns the input pointer to permit
the NEON routine to use special versions of the vld1 instructions
that assume 16 byte alignment, but this could result in inputs of
less than 16 bytes to be passed in. This not only fails the new
extended tests that Eric has implemented, it also results in the
code reading before the input pointer, which could potentially
result in crashes when dealing with less than 16 bytes of input
at the start of a page which is preceded by an unmapped page.

So update the glue code to only invoke the NEON routine if the
input is more than 16 bytes.
