crypto: xor - skip speed test if the xor function is selected automatically
If the architecture selected the xor function with XOR_SELECT_TEMPLATE
the speed result of the do_xor_speed benchmark is of limited value.
The speed measurement increases the bootup time a little, which can
makes a difference for kernels used in container like virtual machines.
