Use subsys_initcall for registration of all templates and generic
algorithm implementations, rather than module_init.  Then change
cryptomgr to use arch_initcall, to place it before the subsys_initcalls.

This is needed so that when both a generic and optimized implementation
of an algorithm are built into the kernel (not loadable modules), the
generic implementation is registered before the optimized one.
Otherwise, the self-tests for the optimized implementation are unable to
allocate the generic implementation for the new comparison fuzz tests.

Note that on arm, a side effect of this change is that self-tests for
generic implementations may run before the unaligned access handler has
been installed.  So, unaligned accesses will crash the kernel.  This is
arguably a good thing as it makes it easier to detect that type of bug.

Adds zstd support to crypto and scompress. Only supports the default
level.

Previously we held off on this patch, since there weren't any users.
Now zram is ready for zstd support, but depends on CONFIG_CRYPTO_ZSTD,
which isn't defined until this patch is in. I also see a patch adding
zstd to pstore [0], which depends on crypto zstd.
