[CRYPTO] cbc: Require block size to be a power of 2

All common block ciphers have a block size that's a power of 2. In fact, all of our block ciphers obey this rule. If we require this then CBC can be optimised to avoid an expensive divide on in-place decryption. I've also changed the saving of the first IV in the in-place decryption case to the last IV because that lets us use walk->iv (which is already aligned) for the xor operation where alignment is required.
