Subject: crypto: vmx - disable preemption to enable vsx in aes_ctr.c

From: Li Zhong <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 7dede913fc2ab9c0d3bff3a49e26fa9e858b0c13 ]

Some preemptible check warnings were reported from enable_kernel_vsx(). This patch disables preemption in aes_ctr.c before enabling vsx, and they are now consistent with other files in the same directory.
