This patch moves the run-time null finup/digest checks to the
shash_prepare_alg function which is run at registration time.

This patch replaces the full descriptor export with an export of
the partial hash state. This allows the use of a consistent export
format across all implementations of a given algorithm.
This is useful because a number of cases require the use of the
partial hash state, e.g., PadLock can use the SHA1 hash state
to get around the fact that it can only hash contiguous data
chunks.

This patch adds shash_register_instance so that shash instances
can be registered without bypassing the shash checks applied to
normal algorithms.

This patch adds the helper shash_attr_alg2 which locates a shash
algorithm based on the information in the given attribute.

This patch adds the functions needed to create and use shash
spawns, i.e., to use shash algorithms in a template.

This patch adds shash_instance and the associated alloc/free
functions. This is meant to be an instance that with a shash
algorithm under it. Note that the instance itself doesn't have
to be shash.

When the total length is shorter than the calculated number of unaligned bytes, the call to shash->update breaks. For example, calling crc32c on unaligned buffer with length of 1 can result in a system crash.

This is based on a report and patch by Geert Uytterhoeven.
The functions crypto_alloc_tfm and create_create_tfm return a
pointer that needs to be adjusted by the caller when successful
and otherwise an error value. This means that the caller has
to check for the error and only perform the adjustment if the
pointer returned is valid.
Since all callers want to make the adjustment and we know how
to adjust it ourselves, it's much easier to just return adjusted
pointer directly.
The only caveat is that we have to return a void * instead of
struct crypto_tfm *. However, this isn't that bad because both
of these functions are for internal use only (by types code like
shash.c, not even algorithms code).
This patch also moves crypto_alloc_tfm into crypto/internal.h
(crypto_create_tfm is already there) to reflect this.

We're currently checking the frontend type in init_tfm. This is
completely pointless because the fact that we're called at all
means that the frontend is ours so the type must match as well.

Module reference counting for shash is incorrect: when
a new shash transformation is created the refcount is not
increased as it should.

Since most cryptographic hash algorithms have no keys, this patch
makes the setkey function optional for ahash and shash.

This patch allows shash algorithms to be used through the old hash
interface. This is a transitional measure so we can convert the
underlying algorithms to shash before converting the users across.

It is often useful to save the partial state of a hash function
so that it can be used as a base for two or more computations.
The most prominent example is HMAC where all hashes start from
a base determined by the key. Having an import/export interface
means that we only have to compute that base once rather than
for each message.

This patch allows shash algorithms to be used through the ahash
interface. This is required before we can convert digest algorithms
over to shash.

The shash interface replaces the current synchronous hash interface.
It improves over hash in two ways. Firstly shash is reentrant,
meaning that the same tfm may be used by two threads simultaneously
as all hashing state is stored in a local descriptor.
The other enhancement is that shash no longer takes scatter list
entries. This is because shash is specifically designed for
synchronous algorithms and as such scatter lists are unnecessary.
All existing hash users will be converted to shash once the
algorithms have been completely converted.
There is also a new finup function that combines update with final.
This will be extended to ahash once the algorithm conversion is
done.
This is also the first time that an algorithm type has their own
registration function. Existing algorithm types will be converted
to this way in due course.
