Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:

- Add support for verifying ML-DSA signatures.

ML-DSA (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm) is a
recently-standardized post-quantum (quantum-resistant) signature
algorithm. It was known as Dilithium pre-standardization.

The first use case in the kernel will be module signing. But there
are also other users of RSA and ECDSA signatures in the kernel that
might want to upgrade to ML-DSA eventually.

- Improve the AES library:

- Make the AES key expansion and single block encryption and
decryption functions use the architecture-optimized AES code.
Enable these optimizations by default.

- Support preparing an AES key for encryption-only, using about
half as much memory as a bidirectional key.

- Replace the existing two generic implementations of AES with a
single one.

- Simplify how Adiantum message hashing is implemented. Remove the
"nhpoly1305" crypto_shash in favor of direct lib/crypto/ support for
NH hashing, and enable optimizations by default.

crypto: aes - Replace aes-generic with wrapper around lib

Now that the AES library's performance has been improved, replace
aes_generic.c with a new file aes.c which wraps the AES library.

In preparation for making the AES library actually utilize the kernel's
existing architecture-optimized AES code including AES instructions, set
the driver name to "aes-lib" instead of "aes-generic". This mirrors
what's been done for the hash algorithms. Update testmgr.c accordingly.

Since this removes the crypto_aes_set_key() helper function, add
temporary replacements for it to arch/arm/crypto/aes-cipher-glue.c and
arch/arm64/crypto/aes-cipher-glue.c. This is temporary, as that code
will be migrated into lib/crypto/ in later commits.
