[CRYPTO] padlock: Helper module padlock.ko

Compile a helper module padlock.ko that will try
to autoload all configured padlock algorithms.

This also provides backward compatibility with 
the ancient times before padlock.ko was renamed 
to padlock-aes.ko

The instructions are used only when the CPU supports them.

Selecting M for this option will compile a helper module
padlock.ko that should autoload all below configured
algorithms. Don't worry if your hardware does not support
some or all of them. In such case padlock.ko will
simply write a single line into the kernel log informing
about its failure but everything will keep working fine.
