99f42f937a Revert "crypto: twofish - add AVX2/x86_64 assembler implementation of twofish cipher"
This reverts commit cf1521a1a5.

Instruction (vpgatherdd) that this implementation relied on turned out to be
slow performer on real hardware (i5-4570). The previous 8-way twofish/AVX
implementation is therefore faster and this implementation should be removed.

Converting this implementation to use the same method as in twofish/AVX for
table look-ups would give additional ~3% speed up vs twofish/AVX, but would
hardly be worth of the added code and binary size.

cf1521a1a5 crypto: twofish - add AVX2/x86_64 assembler implementation of twofish cipher
Patch adds AVX2/x86-64 implementation of Twofish cipher, requiring 16 parallel
blocks for input (256 bytes). Table look-ups are performed using vpgatherdd
instruction directly from vector registers and thus should be faster than
earlier implementations. Implementation also uses 256-bit wide YMM registers,
which should give additional speed up compared to the AVX implementation.

58990986f1 crypto: x86/glue_helper - use le128 instead of u128 for CTR mode
'u128' currently used for CTR mode is on little-endian 'long long' swapped
and would require extra swap operations by SSE/AVX code. Use of le128
instead of u128 allows IV calculations to be done with vector registers
easier.

a7378d4e55 crypto: twofish-avx - remove duplicated glue code and use shared glue code from glue_helper
Now that shared glue code is available, convert twofish-avx to use it.
