crypto: poly1305 - Add a SSE2 SIMD variant for x86_64
Implements an x86_64 assembler driver for the Poly1305 authenticator. This
single block variant holds the 130-bit integer in 5 32-bit words, but uses
SSE to do two multiplications/additions in parallel.

When calling updates with small blocks, the overhead for kernel_fpu_begin/
kernel_fpu_end() negates the perfmance gain. We therefore use the
poly1305-generic fallback for small updates.

For large messages, throughput increases by ~5-10% compared to
poly1305-generic:
