The bug is that p8_ghash uses different shash_descs for the SIMD and no-SIMD
cases.  So if you start out doing the hash in SIMD context but then switch to
no-SIMD context or vice versa, the digest will be wrong.  Note that there can be
an ->export() and ->import() in between, so it's not quite as obscure a case as
one might think.

To fix it I think you'll need to make p8_ghash use 'struct ghash_desc_ctx' just
like ghash-generic so that the two code paths can share the same shash_desc.
That's similar to what the various SHA hash algorithms do.
