8db050786a crypto: Use ERR_CAST
Use ERR_CAST(x) rather than ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x)).  The former makes more
clear what is the purpose of the operation, which otherwise looks like a
no-op.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

6212f2c7f7 [CRYPTO] xts: Use proper alignment
The XTS blockmode uses a copy of the IV which is saved on the stack
and may or may not be properly aligned. If it is not, it will break
hardware cipher like the geode or padlock.
This patch encrypts the IV in place so we don't have to worry about
alignment.

f19f5111c9 [CRYPTO] xts: XTS blockcipher mode implementation without partial blocks
XTS currently considered to be the successor of the LRW mode by the IEEE1619
workgroup. LRW was discarded, because it was not secure if the encyption key
itself is encrypted with LRW.

XTS does not have this problem. The implementation is pretty straightforward,
a new function was added to gf128mul to handle GF(128) elements in ble format.
Four testvectors from the specification
	http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1619/email/pdf00086.pdf
were added, and they verify on my system.
