Always reset the hardware engine.

Thanks for the fix! I could reproduce the issue only when running
rfc4543(gcm(aes))) and then, immediately after, ecb(aes).

Have you encountered this bug with other combination of algorithms?

I'm trying to isolate the bug so that we can have a more fine-grained
fix.
