<title>crypto: api - Rename CRYPTO_ALG_REQ_CHAIN to CRYPTO_ALG_REQ_VIRT</title>

As chaining has been removed, all that remains of REQ_CHAIN is
just virtual address support.  Rename it before the reintroduction
of batching creates confusion.

<title>Revert "crypto: run initcalls for generic implementations earlier"</title>

<id>ef93f1562803cd7bb8159e3abedaf7f47dce4e35</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit c4741b23059794bd99beef0f700103b0d983b3fd.

Crypto API self-tests no longer run at registration time and now
occur either at late_initcall or upon the first use.

Therefore the premise of the above commit no longer exists.  Revert
it and subsequent additions of subsys_initcall and arch_initcall.

Note that lib/crypto calls will stay at subsys_initcall (or rather
downgraded from arch_initcall) because they may need to occur
before Crypto API registration.

Add an atomic flag to the acomp walk and use that in deflate.
Due to the use of a per-cpu context, it is impossible to sleep
during the walk in deflate.

Convert deflate from scomp to acomp.  This removes the need for
the caller to linearise the source and destination.

iaa_crypto depends on the deflate compression algorithm that's provided
by deflate.

If the algorithm is not available because CRYPTO_DEFLATE=m and deflate
is not inserted, iaa_crypto will request "crypto-deflate-generic".
Deflate will not be inserted because "crypto-deflate-generic" is not a
valid alias.

Add deflate-generic and crypto-deflate-generic aliases to deflate.

<title>mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()</title>

As said by Linus:

  A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
  Otherwise it's actively misleading.

  In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
  caller wants.

  In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
  future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
  something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.

The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.

Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.

The renaming is done by using the command sequence:

  git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
  xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'

followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.
