[PATCH] Removing CTR mode from NX driver

[PATCH] Removing CTR mode from NX driver

[Leonidas S. Barbosa]

CTR hardware implementation does not match with kernel spec causing a counter bug
where just low 8 bytes are used for counter, when should be all 16bytes.

Since we already have other counter modes working according with specs
not worth to keep CTR itself on NX.
