<title>crypto: api - Fix race condition in crypto_spawn_alg</title>

The function crypto_spawn_alg is racy because it drops the lock
before shooting the dying algorithm.  The algorithm could disappear
altogether before we shoot it.

This patch fixes it by moving the shooting into the locked section.

<title>crypto: cipher - remove crt_u.cipher (struct cipher_tfm)</title>

<id>e8cfed5e4e2b5929371955f476a52a4c3398ead3</id>
<content type='text'>
Of the three fields in crt_u.cipher (struct cipher_tfm), -&gt;cit_setkey()
is pointless because it always points to setkey() in crypto/cipher.c.

-&gt;cit_decrypt_one() and -&gt;cit_encrypt_one() are slightly less pointless,
since if the algorithm doesn't have an alignmask, they are set directly
to -&gt;cia_encrypt() and -&gt;cia_decrypt().  However, this "optimization"
isn't worthwhile because:

- The "cipher" algorithm type is the only algorithm still using crt_u,
  so it's bloating every struct crypto_tfm for every algorithm type.

- If the algorithm has an alignmask, this "optimization" actually makes
  things slower, as it causes 2 indirect calls per block rather than 1.

- It adds extra code complexity.

- Some templates already call -&gt;cia_encrypt()/-&gt;cia_decrypt() directly
  instead of going through -&gt;cit_encrypt_one()/-&gt;cit_decrypt_one().

- The "cipher" algorithm type never gives optimal performance anyway.
  For that, a higher-level type such as skcipher needs to be used.

Therefore, just remove the extra indirection, and make
crypto_cipher_setkey(), crypto_cipher_encrypt_one(), and
crypto_cipher_decrypt_one() be direct calls into crypto/cipher.c.

Also remove the unused function crypto_cipher_cast().

<title>crypto: api - Introduce notifier for new crypto algorithms</title>

Introduce a facility that can be used to receive a notification
callback when a new algorithm becomes available. This can be used by
existing crypto registrations to trigger a switch from a software-only
algorithm to a hardware-accelerated version.

A new CRYPTO_MSG_ALG_LOADED state is introduced to the existing crypto
notification chain, and the register/unregister functions are exported
so they can be called by subsystems outside of crypto.

There is a message posted to the crypto notifier chain when an algorithm
is unregistered, and when a template is registered or unregistered.  But
nothing is listening for those messages; currently there are only
listeners for the algorithm request and registration messages.

Get rid of these unused notifications for now.

Reference counters should use refcount_t rather than atomic_t, since the
refcount_t implementation can prevent overflows, reducing the
exploitability of reference leak bugs.  crypto_alg.cra_refcount is a
reference counter with the usual semantics, so switch it over to
refcount_t.
