lib/crypto: aes: Drop 'volatile' from aes_sbox and aes_inv_sbox
The volatile keyword is no longer necessary or useful on aes_sbox and aes_inv_sbox, since the table prefetching is now done using a helper function that casts to volatile itself and also includes an optimization barrier. Since it prevents some compiler optimizations, remove it.
