I think it would be cleaner to do:

#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL
static void camellia_fpu_end_rt(struct crypt_priv *ctx)
{
       bool fpu_enabled = ctx->fpu_enabled;

       if (!fpu_enabled)
               return;
       camellia_fpu_end(fpu_enabled);
       ctx->fpu_enabled = false;
}

static void camellia_fpu_sched_rt(struct crypt_priv *ctx)
{
       bool fpu_enabled = ctx->fpu_enabled;

       if (!fpu_enabled || !tif_need_resched_now())
               return;
       camellia_fpu_end(fpu_enabled);
       kernel_fpu_end();
       /* schedule due to preemptible */
       kernel_fpu_begin();
}
#else
static inline void camellia_fpu_end_rt(struct crypt_priv *ctx) { }
static void camellia_fpu_sched_rt(struct crypt_priv *ctx) { }
#endif

It really shows that these functions are only used by RT. IMO it's bad
taste to have functions with the entire body encapsulated in #ifdefs.

And the same goes for the other functions in this patch.
