cover staging: rtl8723bs: rtw_security cleanups

This series contains some cleanups to the file rtw_security.c. The patches have been compile-tested only due to lack of hardware.

Michael Straube (2):
staging: rtl8723bs: use crypto_xor_cpy
staging: rtl8723bs: remove unnecessary forward declarations

PATCH 1/2 staging: rtl8723bs: use crypto_xor_cpy

Use the in-kernel function crypto_xor_cpy instead of the custom function bitwise_xor, as using in-kernel functions is preferred over custom implementations.
