Subject: crypto: arm64/ghash-ce - fix for big endian

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

commit 9c433ad5083fd4a4a3c721d86cbfbd0b2a2326a5 upstream.

The GHASH key and digest are both pairs of 64-bit quantities, but the GHASH code does not always refer to them as such, causing failures when built for big endian. So replace the 16x1 loads and stores with 2x8 ones.
