I haven't looked deeply, but why does this call the camellia_fpu_end()
but other *_fpu_sched_rt() do not call the equivalent?

These are duplicate functions. Shouldn't they go into a header file?

Also, they are very similar:

static inline void camellia_fpu_end(bool fpu_enabled)
{
	glue_fpu_end(fpu_enabled);
}

static inline void cast6_fpu_end(bool fpu_enabled)
{
	glue_fpu_end(fpu_enabled);
}

static inline void serpent_fpu_end(bool fpu_enabled)
{
	glue_fpu_end(fpu_enabled);
}

static inline void twofish_fpu_end(bool fpu_enabled)
{
	glue_fpu_end(fpu_enabled);
}
