Recently we switched to using eseqiv on SMP machines in preference
over chainiv. However, eseqiv does not support stream ciphers so
they should still default to chainiv.
This patch applies the same check as done by eseqiv to weed out
the stream ciphers. In particular, all algorithms where the IV
size is not equal to the block size will now default to chainiv.

As it stands we use chainiv for sync algorithms and eseqiv for
async algorithms. However, when there is more than one CPU
chainiv forces all processing to be serialised which is usually
not what you want. Also, the added overhead of eseqiv isn't that
great.
Therefore this patch changes the default sync geniv on SMP machines
to eseqiv. For the odd situation where the overhead is unacceptable
then chainiv is still available as an option.
Note that on UP machines chainiv is still preferred over eseqiv
for sync algorithms.

When a sync givcipher algorithm is requested, if an async version
of the same algorithm already exists, then we will loop forever
without ever constructing the sync version based on a blkcipher.
This is because we did not include the requested type/mask when
getting a larval for the geniv algorithm that is to be constructed.

When an skcipher constructed through crypto_givcipher_default fails
its selftest, we'll loop forever trying to construct new skcipher
objects but failing because it already exists.
The crux of the issue is that once a givcipher fails the selftest,
we'll ignore it on the next run through crypto_skcipher_lookup and
attempt to construct a new givcipher.
We should instead return an error to the caller if we find a
givcipher that has failed the test.

For compatibility with dm-crypt initramfs setups it is useful to merge
chainiv/seqiv into the crypto_blkcipher module. Since they're required
by most algorithms anyway this is an acceptable trade-off.

This patch makes crypto_alloc_ablkcipher/crypto_grab_skcipher always
return algorithms that are capable of generating their own IVs through
givencrypt and givdecrypt. Each algorithm may specify its default IV
generator through the geniv field.
For algorithms that do not set the geniv field, the blkcipher layer will
pick a default. Currently it's chainiv for synchronous algorithms and
eseqiv for asynchronous algorithms. Note that if these wrappers do not
work on an algorithm then that algorithm must specify its own geniv or
it can't be used at all.

This patch creates the infrastructure to help the construction of givcipher
templates that wrap around existing blkcipher/ablkcipher algorithms by adding
an IV generator to them.

This patch introduces the geniv field which indicates the default IV
generator for each algorithm. It should point to a string that is not
freed as long as the algorithm is registered.

Different block cipher modes have different requirements for intialisation
vectors. For example, CBC can use a simple randomly generated IV while
modes such as CTR must use an IV generation mechanisms that give a stronger
guarantee on the lack of collisions. Furthermore, disk encryption modes
have their own IV generation algorithms.
Up until now IV generation has been left to the users of the symmetric
key cipher API. This is inconvenient as the number of block cipher modes
increase because the user needs to be aware of which mode is supposed to
be paired with which IV generation algorithm.
Therefore it makes sense to integrate the IV generation into the crypto
API. This patch takes the first step in that direction by creating two
new ablkcipher operations, givencrypt and givdecrypt that generates an
IV before performing the actual encryption or decryption.
The operations are currently not exposed to the user. That will be done
once the underlying functionality has actually been implemented.
It also creates the underlying givcipher type. Algorithms that directly
generate IVs would use it instead of ablkcipher. All other algorithms
(including all existing ones) would generate a givcipher algorithm upon
registration. This givcipher algorithm will be constructed from the geniv
string that's stored in every algorithm. That string will locate a template
which is instantiated by the blkcipher/ablkcipher algorithm in question to
give a givcipher algorithm.

Note: From now on the collective of ablkcipher/blkcipher/givcipher will
be known as skcipher, i.e., symmetric key cipher. The name blkcipher has
always been much of a misnomer since it supports stream ciphers too.
This patch adds the function crypto_grab_skcipher as a new way of getting
an ablkcipher spawn. The problem is that previously we did this in two
steps, first getting the algorithm and then calling crypto_init_spawn.
This meant that each spawn user had to be aware of what type and mask to
use for these two steps. This is difficult and also presents a problem
when the type/mask changes as they're about to be for IV generators.
The new interface does both steps together just like crypto_alloc_ablkcipher.
As a side-effect this also allows us to be stronger on type enforcement
for spawns. For now this is only done for ablkcipher but it's trivial
to extend for other types.
This patch also moves the type/mask logic for skcipher into the helpers
crypto_skcipher_type and crypto_skcipher_mask.
Finally this patch introduces the function crypto_require_sync to determine
whether the user is specifically requesting a sync algorithm.

Since not everyone needs a queue pointer and those who need it can
always get it from the context anyway the queue pointer in the
common alg object is redundant.

Evgeniy's hifn driver and probably mine don't use ablkcipher->queue at all.
The show method of ablkcipher will access this field without checking if it
is valid.
