Tweak the SHA256 update routines to invoke the SHA256 block transform block by block, to avoid excessive scheduling delays caused by the NEON algorithm running with preemption disabled. Also, remove a stale comment which no longer applies now that kernel mode NEON is actually disallowed in some contexts.
