Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] cryptodev: move AES-GMAC to aead algorithms

This is proposal to move AES-GMAC algorithm to AEAD set
of algorithms. It is however not 100% conformant GMAC as instead of aad
pointer
data to be authenticated is passed normally and  aead.data.length field
is used to specify length of data to be authenticated.
Reason behind this move is that GMAC is variant of GCM so it may
simplify implementations that are using these algorithms (mainly IPsec).
AES-GMAC therefore needs to be removed from auth algorithms.
