Algorithms not compatible with mcryptd could be spawned by mcryptd
with a direct crypto_alloc_tfm invocation using a "mcryptd(alg)" name
construct. This causes mcryptd to crash the kernel if an arbitrary
"alg" is incompatible and not intended to be used with mcryptd. It is
an issue if AF_ALG tries to spawn mcryptd(alg) to expose it externally.
But such algorithms must be used internally and not be exposed.
We added a check to enforce that only internal algorithms are allowed
with mcryptd at the time mcryptd is spawning an algorithm.

Herbert wants the sha1-mb algorithm to have an async implementation:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/5/286.
Currently, sha1-mb uses an async interface for the outer algorithm
and a sync interface for the inner algorithm. This patch introduces
a async interface for even the inner algorithm.

mcryptd_create_hash() fails by returning -EINVAL, causing any
driver using mcryptd to fail to load. It is because it needs
to set its statesize properly.

The mcryptd is used as a wrapper around internal ciphers. Therefore,
the mcryptd must process the internal cipher by marking mcryptd as
internal if the underlying cipher is an internal cipher.

This adds the module loading prefix "crypto-" to the template lookup
as well.
For example, attempting to load 'vfat(blowfish)' via AF_ALG now correctly
includes the "crypto-" prefix at every level, correctly rejecting "vfat":
net-pf-38
algif-hash
crypto-vfat(blowfish)
crypto-vfat(blowfish)-all
crypto-vfat

This patch introduces the multi-buffer crypto daemon which is responsible
for submitting crypto jobs in a work queue to the responsible multi-buffer
crypto algorithm. The idea of the multi-buffer algorihtm is to put
data streams from multiple jobs in a wide (AVX2) register and then
take advantage of SIMD instructions to do crypto computation on several
buffers simultaneously.
The multi-buffer crypto daemon is also responsbile for flushing the
remaining buffers to complete the computation if no new buffers arrive
for a while.
