5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Eric Biggers ebiggers@kernel.org
commit 44e8241c51f762aafa50ed116da68fd6ecdcc954 upstream.
On big endian arm kernels, the arm optimized Curve25519 code produces incorrect outputs and fails the Curve25519 test. This has been true ever since this code was added.
It seems that hardly anyone (or even no one?) actually uses big endian arm kernels. But as long as they're ostensibly supported, we should disable this code on them so that it's not accidentally used.
Note: for future-proofing, use !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN instead of CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN. Both of these are arch-specific options that could get removed in the future if big endian support gets dropped.
