crypto: x86/serpent - stop using the SIMD helper
Stop wrapping skcipher and aead algorithms with the crypto SIMD helper
(crypto/simd.c). The only purpose of doing so was to work around x86
not always supporting kernel-mode FPU in softirqs. Specifically, if a
hardirq interrupted a task context kernel-mode FPU section and then a
softirqs were run at the end of that hardirq, those softirqs could not
use kernel-mode FPU. This has now been fixed. In combination with the
fact that the skcipher and aead APIs only support task and softirq
contexts, these can now just use kernel-mode FPU unconditionally on x86.
This simplifies the code and improves performance.
