AES-CCM (as used in WPA2 CCMP, for instance) typically involves
authenticate-only data, and operates on a single network packet, and so
the common case is for the authenticate, en/decrypt and finalize SIMD
helpers to all be called exactly once in sequence. Since
kernel_neon_end() now involves manipulation of the preemption state as
well as the softirq mask state, let's reduce the number of times we are
forced to call it to only once if we are handling this common case.

This still makes all the associated data be processed under a single
kernel_neon_begin() / kernel_neon_end() pair, even if there is a large amount of
it.  Shouldn't it be limited to a reasonable amount at a time, like 4K?
This sort of thing has been considered a bug before, e.g. see
commit 706024a52c6 ("crypto: arch/lib - limit simd usage to 4k chunks").

You could do the entire CCM operation under a single pair as long as there isn't
more than 4K of associated data.
