crypto: skcipher - Use restrict rather than hand-rolling accesses

Rather than accessing 'alg' directly to avoid the aliasing issue
which leads to unnecessary reloads, use the __restrict keyword
to explicitly tell the compiler that there is no aliasing.

This generates equivalent if not superior code on x86 with gcc 12.

Note that in skcipher_walk_virt the alg assignment is moved after
might_sleep_if because that function is a compiler barrier and
forces a reload.
