As the extsize and init_tfm functions belong to the frontend the
frontend argument is superfluous.

This patch removes the implementation of hash and digest now that
no algorithms use them anymore.  The interface though will remain
until the users are converted across.

<content type='text'>
This patch adds the helper crypto_attr_alg2 which is similar to
crypto_attr_alg but takes an extra frontend argument.  This is
intended to be used by new style algorithm types such as shash.

The commit a760a6656e6f00bb0144a42a048cf0266646e22c (crypto:
api - Fix module load deadlock with fallback algorithms) broke
the auto-loading of algorithms that require fallbacks.  The
problem is that the fallback mask check is missing an and which
cauess bits that should be considered to interfere with the
result.

<content type='text'>
With the mandatory algorithm testing at registration, we have
now created a deadlock with algorithms requiring fallbacks.
This can happen if the module containing the algorithm requiring
fallback is loaded first, without the fallback module being loaded
first.  The system will then try to test the new algorithm, find
that it needs to load a fallback, and then try to load that.

As both algorithms share the same module alias, it can attempt
to load the original algorithm again and block indefinitely.

As algorithms requiring fallbacks are a special case, we can fix
this by giving them a different module alias than the rest.  Then
it's just a matter of using the right aliases according to what
algorithms we're trying to find.

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.
