Right now when a larval matures or when it dies of an error we
only wake up one waiter. This would cause other waiters to timeout
unnecessarily. This patch changes it to use complete_all to wake
up all waiters.

As it is whenever a new algorithm with the same name is registered
users of the old algorithm will be removed so that they can take
advantage of the new algorithm. This presents a problem when the
new algorithm is not equivalent to the old algorithm. In particular,
the new algorithm might only function on top of the existing one.
Hence we should not remove users unless they can make use of the
new algorithm.

This patch adds the mid-level interface for asynchronous block ciphers.
It also includes a generic queueing mechanism that can be used by other
asynchronous crypto operations in future.

This patch passes the type/mask along when constructing instances of
templates. This is in preparation for templates that may support
multiple types of instances depending on what is requested. For example,
the planned software async crypto driver will use this construct.
For the moment this allows us to check whether the instance constructed
is of the correct type and avoid returning success if the type does not
match.

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.

This patch adds the helpers crypto_get_attr_alg and crypto_alloc_instance
which can be used by simple one-argument templates like hmac to process
input parameters and allocate instances.

Spawns lock a specific crypto algorithm in place. They can then be used
with crypto_spawn_tfm to allocate a tfm for that algorithm. When the base
algorithm of a spawn is deregistered, all its spawns will be automatically
removed.

This patch also adds the infrastructure to pick an algorithm based on
their type. For example, this allows you to select the encryption
algorithm "aes", instead of any algorithm registered under the name
"aes". For now this is only accessible internally. Eventually it
will be made available through crypto_alloc_tfm.

This patch adds a notifier chain for algorithm/template registration events.
This will be used to register compound algorithms such as cbc(aes). In
future this will also be passed onto user-space through netlink.

A crypto_template generates a crypto_alg object when given a set of
parameters. this patch adds the basic data structure fo templates
and code to handle their registration/deregistration.

The crypto API is made up of the part facing users such as IPsec and the
low-level part which is used by cryptographic entities such as algorithms.
This patch splits out the latter so that the two APIs are more clearly
delineated. As a bonus the low-level API can now be modularised if all
algorithms are built as modules.
