In order to ensure that kernel mode SIMD routines will not need a scalar
fallback if they run with softirqs disabled, disallow any use of the
AEAD encrypt and decrypt routines from outside of task or softirq context.

This probably should go after crypto_stats_get() so that the error gets counted
in the stats (if stats are enabled) -- analogous to how the ENOKEY error is
counted.

Likewise for the skcipher patch.
