RFR: 8273297: AES/GCM non-AVX512+VAES CPUs suffer after 8267125 [v5]

> Performance dropped up to 10% for 1k data after 8267125 for CPUs that do not support the new intrinsic. Tests run were crypto.full.AESGCMBench and crypto.full.AESGCMByteBuffer from the jmh micro benchmarks.
> 
> The problem is each instance of GHASH allocates 96 extra longs for the AVX512+VAES intrinsic regardless if the intrinsic is used. This extra table space should be allocated differently so that non-supporting CPUs do not suffer this penalty. This issue also affects non-Intel CPUs too.
