crypto: blowfish - add x86_64 assembly implementation

Patch adds x86_64 assembly implementation of blowfish. Two set of assembler
functions are provided. First set is regular 'one-block at time'
encrypt/decrypt functions. Second is 'four-block at time' functions that
gain performance increase on out-of-order CPUs. Performance of 4-way
functions should be equal to 1-way functions with in-order CPUs.

Summary of the tcrypt benchmarks:

Blowfish assembler vs blowfish C (256bit 8kb block ECB)
encrypt: 2.2x speed
decrypt: 2.3x speed

Blowfish assembler vs blowfish C (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: 1.12x speed
decrypt: 2.5x speed

Blowfish assembler vs blowfish C (256bit 8kb block CTR)
encrypt: 2.5x speed

Blowfish cipher algorithm (x86_64), by Bruce Schneier.
This is a variable key length cipher which can use keys from 32
bits to 448 bits in length. It's fast, simple and specifically
designed for use on "large microprocessors".
