crypto: serpent - add 8-way parallel x86_64/SSE2 assembler implementation

Patch adds x86_64/SSE2 assembler implementation of serpent cipher. Assembler
functions crypt data in eigth block chunks (two 4 block chunk SSE2 operations
in parallel to improve performance on out-of-order CPUs). Glue code is based
on one from AES-NI implementation, so requests from irq context are redirected
to cryptd.

v2:
 - add missing include of linux/module.h
   (appearently crypto.h used to include module.h, which changed for 3.2 by
    commit 7c926402a7e8c9b279968fd94efec8700ba3859e)

Patch has been tested with tcrypt and automated filesystem tests.

Tcrypt benchmarks results (serpent-sse2/serpent_generic speed ratios):
