This patch adds the frontend interface for asynchronous block ciphers.
In addition to the usual block cipher parameters, there is a callback
function pointer and a data pointer. The callback will be invoked only
if the encrypt/decrypt handlers return -EINPROGRESS. In other words,
if the return value of zero the completion handler (or the equivalent
code) needs to be invoked by the caller.
The request structure is allocated and freed by the caller. Its size
is determined by calling crypto_ablkcipher_reqsize(). The helpers
ablkcipher_request_alloc/ablkcipher_request_free can be used to manage
the memory for a request.

The proc functions were incorrectly marked as used rather than unused.
They may be unused if proc is disabled.

This patch adds support for multiple frontend types for each backend
algorithm by passing the type and mask through to the backend type
init function.

Using blkcipher/hash crypto operations in hard IRQ context can lead
to random memory corruption due to the reuse of kmap_atomic slots.
Since crypto operations were never meant to be used in hard IRQ
contexts, this patch checks for such usage and returns an error
before kmap_atomic is performed.

This patch adds the new type of block ciphers. Unlike current cipher
algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers
operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data. As it is block-based,
it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.
The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing
block cipher implementation. The sg walking is now performed by the
algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer. This is needed for drivers
that directly support sg lists. It also improves performance for all
algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.
In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have
a single-block interface. This will be done after all existing users
have switched over to the new block cipher type.
