Please review the following webrev which improves performance for the
com/sun/crypto/provider when the algorithm is AES for some kinds of
Cipher usage patterns.

I do not have a bug number for this change but a description would be
something like the following:
Consider an application which holds on to a Cipher object for AES
and keeps the same key but calls Cipher.init to change the Cipher
between encryption and decryption. The current code in
AESCrypt.java recomputes the expanded key (which is an expensive
operation) with each call to init.
The proposed code saves the key and, if it has not changed, does not
need to recompute on subsequent calls to Cipher.init. The proposed
code also incorporates into the key calculation the final step which
was the expansion of the key to a 1-dimensional array of ints. This
step used to be done in the routine setSubKey.
