Make sure that cryptd is marked as nonfreezable and does not hold up the
freezer.

The function crypto_mod_put first frees the algorithm and then drops
the reference to its module.  Unfortunately we read the module pointer
which after freeing the algorithm and that pointer sits inside the
object that we just freed.

So this patch reads the module pointer out before we free the object.

Thanks to Luca Tettamanti for reporting this.

The return value of crypto_hash_final isn't checked in test_hash_cycles.
This patch corrects this.  Thanks to Eric Sesterhenn for reporting this.

By the time kthread_run returns the param may have already been freed
so writing the returned thread_struct pointer to param is wrong.

In fact, we don't need it in param anyway so this patch simply puts it
on the stack.

This patch adds the cryptd module which is a template that takes a
synchronous software crypto algorithm and converts it to an asynchronous
one by executing it in a kernel thread.

As it is whenever a new algorithm with the same name is registered
users of the old algorithm will be removed so that they can take
advantage of the new algorithm.  This presents a problem when the
new algorithm is not equivalent to the old algorithm.  In particular,
the new algorithm might only function on top of the existing one.

Hence we should not remove users unless they can make use of the
new algorithm.

This patch allows the use of nested templates by allowing the use of
brackets inside a template parameter.

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.

This patch passes the type/mask along when constructing instances of
templates.  This is in preparation for templates that may support
multiple types of instances depending on what is requested.  For example,
the planned software async crypto driver will use this construct.

For the moment this allows us to check whether the instance constructed
is of the correct type and avoid returning success if the type does not
match.
