crypto: x86/chacha - yield the FPU occasionally

Browse source

To improve responsiveness, yield the FPU (temporarily re-enabling
preemption) every 4 KiB encrypted/decrypted, rather than keeping
preemption disabled during the entire encryption/decryption operation.

Alternatively we could do this for every skcipher_walk step, but steps
may be small in some cases, and yielding the FPU is expensive on x86.
