Currently the full set of crypto self-tests requires
CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS=y.  This is problematic in two ways.
First, developers regularly overlook this option.  Second, the
description of the tests as "extra" sometimes gives the impression that
it is not required that all algorithms pass these tests.

Given that the main use case for the crypto self-tests is for
developers, make enabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_SELFTESTS=y just enable the full
set of crypto self-tests by default.

The slow tests can still be disabled by adding the command-line
parameter cryptomgr.noextratests=1, soon to be renamed to
cryptomgr.noslowtests=1.  The only known use case for doing this is for
people trying to use the crypto self-tests to satisfy the FIPS 140-3
pre-operational self-testing requirements when the kernel is being
validated as a FIPS 140-3 cryptographic module.

<title>crypto: testmgr - replace CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS with CRYPTO_SELFTESTS</title>

The negative-sense of CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS is a longstanding
mistake that regularly causes confusion.  Especially bad is that you can
have CRYPTO=n &amp;&amp; CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS=n, which is ambiguous.

Replace CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS with CRYPTO_SELFTESTS which has the
expected behavior.

The tests continue to be disabled by default.

<title>crypto: lib/chacha - add array bounds to function prototypes</title>

Add explicit array bounds to the function prototypes for the parameters
that didn't already get handled by the conversion to use chacha_state:

- chacha_block_*():
  Change 'u8 *out' or 'u8 *stream' to u8 out[CHACHA_BLOCK_SIZE].

- hchacha_block_*():
  Change 'u32 *out' or 'u32 *stream' to u32 out[HCHACHA_OUT_WORDS].

- chacha_init():
  Change 'const u32 *key' to 'const u32 key[CHACHA_KEY_WORDS]'.
  Change 'const u8 *iv' to 'const u8 iv[CHACHA_IV_SIZE]'.

No functional changes.  This just makes it clear when fixed-size arrays
are expected.

Now that the ChaCha state matrix is strongly-typed, add a helper
function chacha_zeroize_state() which zeroizes it.  Then convert all
applicable callers to use it instead of direct memzero_explicit.  No
functional changes.

The ChaCha state matrix is 16 32-bit words.  Currently it is represented
in the code as a raw u32 array, or even just a pointer to u32.  This
weak typing is error-prone.  Instead, introduce struct chacha_state:

    struct chacha_state {
            u32 x[16];
    };

Convert all ChaCha and HChaCha functions to use struct chacha_state.
No functional changes.

LIB_POLY1305_GENERIC.

Add an internal sha256_finup helper and move the finalisation code
from __sha256_final into it.

Also add sha256_choose_blocks and CRYPTO_ARCH_HAVE_LIB_SHA256_SIMD
so that the Crypto API can use the SIMD block function unconditionally.
The Crypto API must not be used in hard IRQs and there is no reason
to have a fallback path for hardirqs.
