The sev-guest driver encryption code uses Crypto API for SNP guest
messaging to interact with AMD Security processor. For enabling SecureTSC,
SEV-SNP guests need to send a TSC_INFO request guest message before the
smpboot phase starts. Details from the TSC_INFO response will be used to
program the VMSA before the secondary CPUs are brought up. The Crypto API
is not available this early in the boot phase.

In preparation of moving the encryption code out of sev-guest driver to
support SecureTSC and make reviewing the diff easier, start using AES GCM
library implementation instead of Crypto API.
