Subject: [PATCH] crypto: arm64/aes-neonbs - fix returning final keystream
block

The arm64 NEON bit-sliced implementation of AES-CTR fails the improved skcipher tests because it sometimes produces the wrong ciphertext. The bug is that the final keystream block isn't returned from the assembly code when the number of non-final blocks is zero. This can happen if the input data ends a few bytes after a page boundary. In this case the last bytes get "encrypted" by XOR'ing them with uninitialized memory.

Fix the assembly code to return the final keystream block when needed.

Fixes 88a3f582bea9 ("crypto: arm64/aes - don't use IV buffer to return final keystream block")
