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.

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.

This patch adds a random number generator interface as well as a
cryptographic pseudo-random number generator based on AES.  It is
meant to be used in cases where a deterministic CPRNG is required.

One of the first applications will be as an input in the IPsec IV
generation process.

in order to break a dependency loop between cryptomgr, rng, and
blkcipher.

All new crypto interfaces should go into individual files as much
as possible in order to ensure that crypto.h does not collapse under
its own weight.

This patch moves the ahash code into crypto/hash.h and crypto/internal/hash.h
respectively.

This patch adds the walking helpers for hash algorithms akin to
those of block ciphers.  This is a necessary step before we can
reimplement existing hash algorithms using the new ahash interface.

The previous patch to move chainiv and eseqiv into blkcipher created
a section mismatch for the chainiv exit function which was also called
from __init.  This patch removes the __exit marking on it.

For compatibility with dm-crypt initramfs setups it is useful to merge
chainiv/seqiv into the crypto_blkcipher module.  Since they're required
by most algorithms anyway this is an acceptable trade-off.

<title>[CRYPTO] chainiv: Avoid lock spinning where possible</title>

This patch makes chainiv avoid spinning by postponing requests on lock
contention if the user allows the use of asynchronous algorithms.  If
a synchronous algorithm is requested then we behave as before.

This should improve IPsec performance on SMP when two CPUs attempt to
transmit over the same SA.  Currently one of them will spin doing nothing
waiting for the other CPU to finish its encryption.  This patch makes it
postpone the request and get on with other work.

If only one CPU is transmitting for a given SA, then we will process
the request synchronously as before.
