crypto: serpent - get rid of obsolete tnepres variant
It is not trivial to trace back why exactly the tnepres variant of serpent was added ~17 years ago - Google searches come up mostly empty, but it seems to be related with the 'kerneli' version, which was based on an incorrect interpretation of the serpent spec. In other words, nobody is likely to care anymore today, so let's get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
