Add an implementation of cts(cbc(aes)) accelerated using the Zvkned RISC-V vector crypto extension. This is mainly useful for fscrypt, where cts(cbc(aes)) is the "default" filenames encryption algorithm. In that use case, typically most messages are short and are block-aligned. The CBC-CTS variant implemented is CS3; this is the variant Linux uses. To perform well on short messages, the new implementation processes the full message in one call to the assembly function if the data is contiguous. Otherwise it falls back to CBC operations followed by CTS at the end. For decryption, to further improve performance on short messages, especially block-aligned messages, the CBC-CTS assembly function parallelizes the AES decryption of all full blocks. This improves on the arm64 implementation of cts(cbc(aes)), which always splits the CBC part(s) from the CTS part, doing the AES decryptions for the last two blocks serially and usually loading the round keys twice. Tested in QEMU with CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS=y.

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.
