[PATCH][next] powerpc/crypto: Avoid -Wstringop-overflow warnings

The compiler doesn't know that `32` is an offset into the Hash table:

 56 struct Hash_ctx {
 57         u8 H[16];       /* subkey */
 58         u8 Htable[256]; /* Xi, Hash table(offset 32) */
 59 };

So, it legitimately complains about a potential out-of-bounds issue
if `256 bytes` are accessed in `htable` (this implies going
`32 bytes` beyond the boundaries of `Htable`):

arch/powerpc/crypto/aes-gcm-p10-glue.c: In function 'gcmp10_init':
arch/powerpc/crypto/aes-gcm-p10-glue.c:120:9: error: 'gcm_init_htable' accessing 256 bytes in a region of size 224 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
  120 |         gcm_init_htable(hash->Htable+32, hash->H);
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   40 | asmlinkage void gcm_init_htable(unsigned char htable[256], unsigned char Xi[16]);
      |                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Address this by avoiding specifying the size of `htable` in the function
prototype; and just for consistency, do the same for parameter `Xi`.
