powerpc/lib/xor_vmx: Ensure no altivec code executes before enable_kernel_altivec()

The xor_vmx.c file is used for the RAID5 xor operations. In these functions
altivec is enabled to run the operation and then disabled.

The code uses enable_kernel_altivec() around the core of the algorithm, however
the whole file is built with -maltivec, so the compiler is within its rights to
generate altivec code anywhere. This has been seen at least once in the wild:

  c0000000000b984c  4bf6a06d	bl      c0000000000238b8 # enable_kernel_altivec

This patch splits the non-altivec code into xor_vmx_glue.c which calls the
altivec functions in xor_vmx.c. By compiling xor_vmx_glue.c without
-maltivec we can guarantee that altivec instruction will not be executed
outside of the enable/disable block.
