3f683d6175 crypto: api - Fix crypto_alloc_tfm/create_create_tfm return convention
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.

1693531e9e crypto: shash - Remove superfluous check in init_tfm
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.

4abfd73e34 crypto: shash - Fix module refcount
Module reference counting for shash is incorrect: when
a new shash transformation is created the refcount is not
increased as it should.

3751f402e0 crypto: hash - Make setkey optional
Since most cryptographic hash algorithms have no keys, this patch
makes the setkey function optional for ahash and shash.

5f7082ed4f crypto: hash - Export shash through hash
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.

dec8b78606 crypto: hash - Add import/export interface
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.

3b2f6df082 crypto: hash - Export shash through ahash
This patch allows shash algorithms to be used through the ahash
interface.  This is required before we can convert digest algorithms
over to shash.

7b5a080b3c crypto: hash - Add shash interface
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.
