Although the existing hash walk interface has already been used
by a number of ahash crypto drivers, it turns out that none of
them were really asynchronous. They were all essentially polling
for completion.
That's why nobody has noticed until now that the walk interface
couldn't work with a real asynchronous driver since the memory
is mapped using kmap_atomic.
As we now have a use-case for a real ahash implementation on x86,
this patch creates a minimal ahash walk interface. Basically it
just calls kmap instead of kmap_atomic and does away with the
crypto_yield call. Real ahash crypto drivers don't need to yield
since by definition they won't be hogging the CPU.

This patch exports the finup operation where available and adds
a default finup operation for ahash. The operations final, finup
and digest also will now deal with unaligned result pointers by
copying it. Finally export/import operations are will now be
exported too.

Now that all ahash implementations have been converted to the new
ahash type, we can remove old_ahash_alg and its associated support.

This patch changes crypto4xx to use the new style ahash type.
In particular, we now use ahash_alg to define ahash algorithms
instead of crypto_alg.
This is achieved by introducing a union that encapsulates the
new type and the existing crypto_alg structure. They're told
apart through a u32 field containing the type value.

This patch converts crypto_ahash to the new style. The old ahash
algorithm type is retained until the existing ahash implementations
are also converted. All ahash users will automatically get the
new crypto_ahash type.

This patch adds __crypto_shash_cast which turns a crypto_tfm
into crypto_shash. It's analogous to the other __crypto_*_cast
functions.
It hasn't been needed until now since no existing shash algorithms
have had an init function.

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.

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
