ppc assembly pack: always increment CTR IV as quadword
The kernel self-tests picked up an issue with CTR mode. The issue was detected with a test vector with an IV of FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFD: after 3 increments it should wrap around to 0. There are two paths that increment IVs: the bulk (8 at a time) path, and the individual path which is used when there are fewer than 8 AES blocks to process. In the bulk path, the IV is incremented with vadduqm: "Vector Add Unsigned Quadword Modulo", which does 128-bit addition. In the individual path, however, the IV is incremented with vadduwm: "Vector Add Unsigned Word Modulo", which instead does 4 32-bit additions. Thus the IV would instead become FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF00000000, throwing off the result. Use vadduqm. This was probably a typo originally, what with q and w being adjacent.
