From: Eric Biggers ebiggers@google.com

commit 8f461b1e02ed546fbd0f11611138da67fd85a30f upstream.

With ecb-cast5-avx, if a 128+ byte scatterlist element followed a shorter one, then the algorithm accidentally encrypted/decrypted only 8 bytes instead of the expected 128 bytes. Fix it by setting the encryption/decryption 'fn' correctly.
