crypto: arm/aes - add some hardening against cache-timing attacks

Make the ARM scalar AES implementation closer to constant-time by
disabling interrupts and prefetching the tables into L1 cache.  This is
feasible because due to ARM's "free" rotations, the main tables are only
1024 bytes instead of the usual 4096 used by most AES implementations.

On ARM Cortex-A7, the speed loss is only about 5%.  The resulting code
is still over twice as fast as aes_ti.c.  Responsiveness is potentially
a concern, but interrupts are only disabled for a single AES block.

Note that even after these changes, the implementation still isn't
necessarily guaranteed to be constant-time; see
https://cr.yp.to/antiforgery/cachetiming-20050414.pdf for a discussion
of the many difficulties involved in writing truly constant-time AES
software.  But it's valuable to make such attacks more difficult.

Much of this patch is based on patches suggested by Ard Biesheuvel.

help
Use optimized AES assembler routines for ARM platforms.
On ARM processors without the Crypto Extensions, this is the
fastest AES implementation for single blocks. For multiple
blocks, the NEON bit-sliced implementation is usually faster.
This implementation may be vulnerable to cache timing attacks,
since it uses lookup tables. However, as countermeasures it
disables IRQs and preloads the tables; it is hoped this makes
such attacks very difficult.
