crypto: arm64/aes-neonbs-xts - use plain NEON for non-power-of-2 input sizes

Even though the kernel's implementations of AES-XTS were updated to
implement ciphertext stealing and can operate on inputs of any size
larger than or equal to the AES block size, this feature is rarely used
in practice.

In fact, in the kernel, AES-XTS is only used to operate on 4096 or 512
byte blocks, which means that not only the ciphertext stealing is
effectively dead code, the logic in the bit sliced NEON implementation
to deal with fewer than 8 blocks at a time is also never used.

Since the bit-sliced NEON driver already depends on the plain NEON
version, which is slower but can operate on smaller data quantities more
straightforwardly, let's fallback to the plain NEON implementation of
XTS for any residual inputs that are not multiples of 128 bytes. This
allows us to remove a lot of complicated logic that rarely gets
exercised in practice.
