[PATCH 1/7] crypto: octeon - don't disable bottom half in octeon-md5

[Aaro Koskinen]

Don't disable bottom half while the crypto engine is in use, as it
should be unnecessary: All kernel crypto engine usage is wrapped with
crypto engine state save/restore, so if we get interrupted by softirq
that uses crypto they should save and restore our context.

This actually fixes an issue when running OCTEON MD5 with interrupts
disabled (tcrypt mode=302). There's a WARNING because the module is
trying to enable the bottom half with irqs disabled:
