crypto: serpent - add 4-way parallel i586/SSE2 assembler implementation

Patch adds i586/SSE2 assembler implementation of serpent cipher. Assembler
functions crypt data in four block chunks.

Patch has been tested with tcrypt and automated filesystem tests.

Tcrypt benchmarks results (serpent-sse2/serpent_generic speed ratios):
