[ Upstream commit 0d3d054b43719ef33232677ba27ba6097afdafbc ]

IV size was zero on CBC and CTR modes,
causing a bug triggered by skcipher.

Fixing this  adding a correct size.

commit 12d3f49e1ffbbf8cbbb60acae5a21103c5c841ac upstream.

All of the VMX AES ciphers (AES, AES-CBC and AES-CTR) are set at
priority 1000. Unfortunately this means we never use AES-CBC and
AES-CTR, because the base AES-CBC cipher that is implemented on
top of AES inherits its priority.

To fix this, AES-CBC and AES-CTR have to be a higher priority. Set
them to 2000.

Testing on a POWER8 with:

cryptsetup benchmark --cipher aes --key-size 256

Shows decryption speed increase from 402.4 MB/s to 3069.2 MB/s,
over 7x faster. Thanks to Mike Strosaker for helping me debug
this issue.

AES-CTR is using a counter 8bytes-8bytes what miss match with
kernel specs.

In the previous code a vadduwm was done to increment counter.
Replacing this for a vadduqm now considering both cases counter
8-8 bytes and full 16bytes.

vmx-crypto driver make use of some VSX instructions which are
only available if VSX is enabled. Running in cases where VSX
are not enabled vmx-crypto fails in a VSX exception.

In order to fix this enable_kernel_vsx() was added to turn on
VSX instructions for vmx-crypto.
