There is really no need to page align sha1_transform_avx2. The default
alignment is just fine. This is not the hot code but only the entry
point, after all.

The AVX2 implementation might waste up to a page of stack memory because
of a wrong alignment calculation. This will, in the worst case, increase
the stack usage of sha1_transform_avx2() alone to 5.4 kB -- way to big
for a kernel function. Even worse, it might also allocate *less* bytes
than needed if the stack pointer is already aligned bacause in that case
the 'sub %rbx, %rsp' is effectively moving the stack pointer upwards,
not downwards.
Fix those issues by changing and simplifying the alignment calculation
to use a 32 byte alignment, the alignment really needed.

This git patch adds x86_64 AVX2 optimization of SHA1
transform to crypto support. The patch has been tested with 3.14.0-rc1
kernel.
On a Haswell desktop, with turbo disabled and all cpus running
at maximum frequency, tcrypt shows AVX2 performance improvement
from 3% for 256 bytes update to 16% for 1024 bytes update over
AVX implementation.
This patch adds sha1_avx2_transform(), the glue, build and
configuration changes needed for AVX2 optimization of
SHA1 transform to crypto support.
sha1-ssse3 is one module which adds the necessary optimization
support (SSSE3/AVX/AVX2) for the low-level SHA1 transform function.
With better optimization support, transform function is overridden
as the case may be. In the case of AVX2, due to performance reasons
across datablock sizes, the AVX or AVX2 transform function is used
at run-time as it suits best. The Makefile change therefore appends
the necessary objects to the linkage. Due to this, the patch merely
appends AVX2 transform to the existing build mix and Kconfig support
and leaves the configuration build support as is.
