crypto: x86/twofish-3way - Fix %rbp usage

commit d8c7fe9f2a486a6e5f0d5229ca43807af5ab22c6 upstream.

Using %rbp as a temporary register breaks frame pointer convention and
breaks stack traces when unwinding from an interrupt in the crypto code.

In twofish-3way, we can't simply replace %rbp with another register
because there are none available.  Instead, we use the stack to hold the
values that %rbp, %r11, and %r12 were holding previously.  Each of these
values represents the half of the output from the previous Feistel round
that is being passed on unchanged to the following round.  They are only
used once per round, when they are exchanged with %rax, %rbx, and %rcx.

As a result, we free up 3 registers (one per block) and can reassign
them so that %rbp is not used, and additionally %r14 and %r15 are not
used so they do not need to be saved/restored.

There may be a small overhead caused by replacing 'xchg REG, REG' with
the needed sequence 'mov MEM, REG; mov REG, MEM; mov REG, REG' once per
round.  But, counterintuitively, when I tested "ctr-twofish-3way" on a
Haswell processor, the new version was actually about 2% faster.
(Perhaps 'xchg' is not as well optimized as plain moves.)
