cyrpto => crypto
Per git-grep u128_xor() and its related struct u128 are unused except
to implement {be,le}128_xor(). Remove them to free up the namespace.
There's still a reference to u128 in drivers/crypto/vmx/ghash.c.  But, it's only
dereferenced by assembly code, so it should keep working even if u128 gets
redefined to a native int.  I don't speak PowerPC, so I'm not sure what the
"correct" type is there.
