To help avoid confusion, add a comment to ghash-generic.c which explains the convention that the kernel's implementation of GHASH uses. Also update the Kconfig help text and module descriptions to call GHASH a "hash function" rather than a "message digest", since the latter normally means a real cryptographic hash function, which GHASH is not.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
