This patch allows skcipher algorithms and instances to be created
and registered with the crypto API. They are accessible through
the top-level skcipher interface, along with ablkcipher/blkcipher
algorithms and instances.
This patch also introduces a new parameter called chunk size
which is meant for ciphers such as CTR and CTS which ostensibly
can handle arbitrary lengths, but still behave like block ciphers
in that you can only process a partial block at the very end.
For these ciphers the block size will continue to be set to 1
as it is now while the chunk size will be set to the underlying
block size.

While converting ecryptfs over to skcipher I found that it needs
to pick a default key size if one isn't given. Rather than having
it poke into the guts of the algorithm to get max_keysize, let's
provide a helper that is meant to give a sane default (just in
case we ever get an algorithm that has no maximum key size).

This patch adds a way for skcipher users to determine whether a key
is required by a transform.

Fixes the following sparse warnings:
crypto/skcipher.c:94:5:
warning: symbol 'crypto_init_skcipher_ops_blkcipher'
was not declared. Should it be static?
crypto/skcipher.c:185:5:
warning: symbol 'crypto_init_skcipher_ops_ablkcipher'
was not declared. Should it be static?

This patch introduces the crypto skcipher interface which aims
to replace both blkcipher and ablkcipher.
It's very similar to the existing ablkcipher interface. The
main difference is the removal of the givcrypt interface. In
order to make the transition easier for blkcipher users, there
is a helper SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK which can be used to place
a request on the stack for synchronous transforms.
