crypto: caam - avoid S/G table fetching for AEAD zero-length output

When enabling IOMMU support, the following issue becomes visible
in the AEAD zero-length case.

Even though the output sequence length is set to zero, the crypto engine
tries to prefetch 4 S/G table entries (since SGF bit is set
in SEQ OUT PTR command - which is either generated in SW in case of
caam/jr or in HW in case of caam/qi, caam/qi2).
The DMA read operation will trigger an IOMMU fault since the address in
the SEQ OUT PTR is "dummy" (set to zero / not obtained via DMA API
mapping).

1. In case of caam/jr, avoid the IOMMU fault by clearing the SGF bit
in SEQ OUT PTR command.

2. In case of caam/qi - setting address, bpid, length to zero for output
entry in the compound frame has a special meaning (cf. CAAM RM):
"Output frame = Unspecified, Input address = Y. A unspecified frame is
indicated by an unused SGT entry (an entry in which the Address, Length,
and BPID fields are all zero). SEC obtains output buffers from BMan as
prescribed by the preheader."

Since no output buffers are needed, modify the preheader by setting
(ABS = 1, ADDBUF = 0):
-"ABS = 1 means obtain the number of buffers in ADDBUF (0 or 1) from
the pool POOL ID"
-ADDBUF: "If ABS is set, ADD BUF specifies whether to allocate
a buffer or not"

3. In case of caam/qi2, since engine:
-does not support FLE[FMT]=2'b11 ("unused" entry) mentioned in DPAA2 RM
-requires output entry to be present, even if not used
the solution chosen is to leave output frame list entry zeroized.
