net: phy: mscc: avoid skcipher API for single block AES encryption
The skcipher API dynamically instantiates the transformation object on request that implements the requested algorithm optimally on the given platform. This notion of optimality only matters for cases like bulk network or disk encryption, where performance can be a bottleneck, or in cases where the algorithm itself is not known at compile time. In the mscc case, we are dealing with AES encryption of a single block, and so neither concern applies, and we are better off using the AES library interface, which is lightweight and safe for this kind of use. Note that the scatterlist API does not permit references to buffers that are located on the stack, so the existing code is incorrect in any case, but avoiding the skcipher and scatterlist APIs entirely is the most straight-forward approach to fixing this.
