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.

This patch fixes a host of reentrancy bugs in the nx driver. The
following algorithms are affected:
* CCM
* GCM
* CTR
* XCBC
* SHA256
* SHA512
The crypto API allows a single transform to be used by multiple
threads simultaneously. For example, IPsec will use a single tfm
to process packets for a given SA. As packets may arrive on
multiple CPUs that tfm must be reentrant.
The nx driver does try to deal with this by using a spin lock.
Unfortunately only the basic AES/CBC/ECB algorithms do this in
the correct way.
The symptom of these bugs may range from the generation of incorrect
output to memory corruption.

The previous limits were estimated locally in a single step
basead on bound values, however it was not correct since
when given certain scatterlist the function nx_build_sg_lists
was consuming more sg entries than allocated causing a
memory corruption and crashes.
- This patch removes the old logic and replaces it into nx_sg_build_lists
in order to build a correct nx_sg list using the correct sg_max limit
and bounds.
IV vector was not set correctly to zero causing ctr crash in tcrypt tests.
- Fixed setting IV vector bits to zero.

This patch updates the nx-aes-ctr implementation to perform several
hyper calls if needed in order to always respect the length limits for
scatter/gather lists.
Two different limits are considered:
- "ibm,max-sg-len": maximum number of bytes of each scatter/gather
list.
- "ibm,max-sync-cop":
- The total number of bytes that a scatter/gather list can hold.
- The maximum number of elements that a scatter/gather list can have.

This patch includes one more parameter to nx_build_sg_lists() to skip
the given number of bytes from beginning of each sg list.
This is needed in order to implement the fixes for the AES modes to make
them able to process larger chunks of data.

The NX driver uses the transformation context to store several fields
containing data related to the state of the operations in progress.
Since a single tfm can be used by different kernel threads at the same
time, we need to protect the data stored into the context.
This patch makes use of spin locks to protect the data where a race
condition can happen.
