crypto: arm64/crct10dif - revert to C code for short inputs


The SIMD routine ported from x86 used to have a special code path
for inputs < 16 bytes, which got lost somewhere along the way.
Instead, the current glue code aligns the input pointer to 16 bytes,
which is not really necessary on this architecture (although it
could be beneficial to performance to expose aligned data to the
the NEON routine), but this could result in inputs of less than
16 bytes to be passed in. This not only fails the new extended
tests that Eric has implemented, it also results in the code
reading past the end of the input, which could potentially result
in crashes when dealing with less than 16 bytes of input at the
end of a page which is followed by an unmapped page.

So update the glue code to only invoke the NEON routine if the
input is at least 16 bytes.
