crypto: crypto4xx - increase context and scatter ring buffer elements



If crypto4xx is used in conjunction with dm-crypt, the available
ring buffer elements are not enough to handle the load properly.

On an aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 encrypted swap partition the read
performance is abyssal: (tested with hdparm -t)

/dev/mapper/swap_crypt:
 Timing buffered disk reads:  14 MB in  3.68 seconds =   3.81 MB/sec

The patch increases both PPC4XX_NUM_SD and PPC4XX_NUM_PD to 256.
This improves the performance considerably:

/dev/mapper/swap_crypt:
 Timing buffered disk reads: 104 MB in  3.03 seconds =  34.31 MB/sec

Furthermore, PPC4XX_LAST_SD, PPC4XX_LAST_GD and PPC4XX_LAST_PD
can be easily calculated from their respective PPC4XX_NUM_*
constant.
