Optimize ChaCha20 NEON performance by:
- Implementing the 8-bit rotations using the 'vtbl.8' instruction.
- Streamlining the part that adds the original state and XORs the data.
- Making some other small tweaks.
On ARM Cortex-A7, these optimizations improve ChaCha20 performance from
about 12.08 cycles per byte to about 11.37 -- a 5.9% improvement.
There is a tradeoff involved with the 'vtbl.8' rotation method since
there is at least one CPU (Cortex-A53) where it's not fastest. But it
seems to be a better default; see the added comment. Overall, this
patch reduces Cortex-A53 performance by less than 0.5%.

The 4-way ChaCha20 NEON code implements 16-bit rotates with vrev32.16,
but the one-way code (used on remainder blocks) implements it with
vshl + vsri, which is slower. Switch the one-way code to vrev32.16 too.

This is a straight port to ARM/NEON of the x86 SSE3 implementation
of the ChaCha20 stream cipher. It uses the new skcipher walksize
attribute to process the input in strides of 4x the block size.

This patch reverts the following commits:
8621caa0d45e731f2e9f5889ff5bb384fcd6e059
8096667273477e735b0072b11a6d617ccee45e5f
I should not have applied them because they had already been
obsoleted by a subsequent patch series. They also cause a build
failure because of the subsequent commit 9ae433bc79f9.
Fixes: 9ae433bc79f ("crypto: chacha20 - convert generic and...")
