[PATCH] crypto: vmx/xts - reject inputs that are too short

When the kernel XTS implementation was extended to deal with ciphertext
stealing in commit 8083b1bf8163 ("crypto: xts - add support for ciphertext
stealing"), a check was added to reject inputs that were too short.

However, in the vmx enablement - commit 239668419349 ("crypto: vmx/xts -
use fallback for ciphertext stealing"), that check wasn't added to the
vmx implementation. This disparity leads to errors like the following:

alg: skcipher: p8_aes_xts encryption unexpectedly succeeded on test vector "random: len=0 klen=64"; expected_error=-22, cfg="random: inplace may_sleep use_finup src_divs=[<flush>66.99%@+10, 33.1%@alignmask+1155]"

Return -EINVAL if asked to operate with a cryptlen smaller than the AES
block size. This brings vmx in line with the generic implementation.
