Note: From now on the collective of ablkcipher/blkcipher/givcipher will
be known as skcipher, i.e., symmetric key cipher. The name blkcipher has
always been much of a misnomer since it supports stream ciphers too.
This patch adds the function crypto_grab_skcipher as a new way of getting
an ablkcipher spawn. The problem is that previously we did this in two
steps, first getting the algorithm and then calling crypto_init_spawn.
This meant that each spawn user had to be aware of what type and mask to
use for these two steps. This is difficult and also presents a problem
when the type/mask changes as they're about to be for IV generators.
The new interface does both steps together just like crypto_alloc_ablkcipher.
As a side-effect this also allows us to be stronger on type enforcement
for spawns. For now this is only done for ablkcipher but it's trivial
to extend for other types.
This patch also moves the type/mask logic for skcipher into the helpers
crypto_skcipher_type and crypto_skcipher_mask.
Finally this patch introduces the function crypto_require_sync to determine
whether the user is specifically requesting a sync algorithm.

Since not everyone needs a queue pointer and those who need it can
always get it from the context anyway the queue pointer in the
common alg object is redundant.

This patch ensures that kernel.h and slab.h are included for
the setkey_unaligned function. It also breaks a couple of
long lines.

Evgeniy's hifn driver and probably mine don't use ablkcipher->queue at all.
The show method of ablkcipher will access this field without checking if it
is valid.

setkey() in {cipher,blkcipher,ablkcipher,hash}.c does not respect the
requested alignment by the algorithm. This patch fixes it. The extra
memory is allocated by kmalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC flag.

This patch adds the mid-level interface for asynchronous block ciphers.
It also includes a generic queueing mechanism that can be used by other
asynchronous crypto operations in future.
