Update the crypto_simd module to support wrapping AEAD algorithms. Previously it only supported skciphers. The code for each is similar. I'll be converting the x86 implementations of AES-GCM, AEGIS, and MORUS to use this. Currently they each independently implement the same functionality. This will not only simplify the code, but it will also fix the bug detected by the improved self-tests: the user-provided aead_request is modified. This is because these algorithms currently reuse the original request, whereas the crypto_simd helpers build a new request in the original request's context.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
