Currently we free the default RNG when its use count hits zero.
This was OK when the IV generators would latch onto the RNG at
instance creation time and keep it until the instance is torn
down.
Now that IV generators only keep the RNG reference during init
time this scheme causes the default RNG to come and go at a high
frequencey. This is highly undesirable as we want to keep a single
RNG in use unless the admin wants it to be removed.
This patch changes the scheme so that the system RNG once allocated
is never removed unless a specifically requested.

The struct aead_instance is meant to extend struct crypto_instance
by incorporating the extra members of struct aead_alg. However,
the current layout which is copied from shash/ahash does not specify
the struct fully. In particular only aead_alg is present.
For shash/ahash this works because users there add extra headroom
to sizeof(struct crypto_instance) when allocating the instance.
Unfortunately for aead, this bit was lost when the new aead_instance
was added.
Rather than fixing it like shash/ahash, this patch simply expands
struct aead_instance to contain what is supposed to be there, i.e.,
adding struct crypto_instance.
In order to not break existing AEAD users, this is done through an
anonymous union.

As required by SP800-90A, the DRBG implements are reseeding threshold.
This threshold is at 2**48 (64 bit) and 2**32 bit (32 bit) as
implemented in drbg_max_requests.
With the recently introduced changes, the DRBG is now always used as a
stdrng which is initialized very early in the boot cycle. To ensure that
sufficient entropy is present, the Jitter RNG is added to even provide
entropy at early boot time.
However, the 2nd seed source, the nonblocking pool, is usually
degraded at that time. Therefore, the DRBG is seeded with the Jitter RNG
(which I believe contains good entropy, which however is questioned by
others) and is seeded with a degradded nonblocking pool. This seed is
now used for quasi the lifetime of the system (2**48 requests is a lot).
The patch now changes the reseed threshold as follows: up until the time
the DRBG obtains a seed from a fully iniitialized nonblocking pool, the
reseeding threshold is lowered such that the DRBG is forced to reseed
itself resonably often. Once it obtains the seed from a fully
initialized nonblocking pool, the reseed threshold is set to the value
required by SP800-90A.

The get_blocking_random_bytes API is broken because the wait can
be arbitrarily long (potentially forever) so there is no safe way
of calling it from within the kernel.
This patch replaces it with the new callback API which does not
have this problem.
The patch also removes the entropy buffer registered with the DRBG
handle in favor of stack variables to hold the seed data.

As it stands the only non-type safe functions left in the new
AEAD interface are the cra_init/cra_exit functions. It means
exposing the ugly __crypto_aead_cast to every AEAD implementor.
This patch adds type-safe init/exit functions to AEAD. Existing
algorithms are unaffected while new implementations can simply
fill in these two instead of cra_init/cra_exit.

This patch defines the behaviour of AD in the new interface more
clearly. In particular, it specifies that if the user must copy
the AD to the destination manually when src != dst if they wish
to guarantee that the destination buffer contains a copy of the
AD.
The reason for this is that otherwise every AEAD implementation
would have to perform such a copy when src != dst. In reality
most users do in-place processing where src == dst so this is
not an issue.
This patch also kills some remaining references to cryptoff.

During initialization, the DRBG now tries to allocate a handle of the
Jitter RNG. If such a Jitter RNG is available during seeding, the DRBG
pulls the required entropy/nonce string from get_random_bytes and
concatenates it with a string of equal size from the Jitter RNG. That
combined string is now the seed for the DRBG.
Written differently, the initial seed of the DRBG is now:
get_random_bytes(entropy/nonce) || jitterentropy (entropy/nonce)
If the Jitter RNG is not available, the DRBG only seeds from
get_random_bytes.

The async seeding operation is triggered during initalization right
after the first non-blocking seeding is completed. As required by the
asynchronous operation of random.c, a callback function is provided that
is triggered by random.c once entropy is available. That callback
function performs the actual seeding of the DRBG.

In order to prepare for the addition of the asynchronous seeding call,
the invocation of seeding the DRBG is moved out into a helper function.
In addition, a block of memory is allocated during initialization time
that will be used as a scratchpad for obtaining entropy. That scratchpad
is used for the initial seeding operation as well as by the
asynchronous seeding call. The memory must be zeroized every time the
DRBG seeding call succeeds to avoid entropy data lingering in memory.

This patch converts the seqiv IV generator to work with the new
AEAD interface where IV generators are just normal AEAD algorithms.
Full backwards compatibility is paramount at this point since
no users have yet switched over to the new interface. Nor can
they switch to the new interface until IV generation is fully
supported by it.
So this means we are adding two versions of seqiv alongside the
existing one. The first one is the one that will be used when
the underlying AEAD algorithm has switched over to the new AEAD
interface. The second one handles the current case where the
underlying AEAD algorithm still uses the old interface.
Both versions export themselves through the new AEAD interface.

This patch adds the basic structure of the new AEAD type. Unlike
the current version, there is no longer any concept of geniv. IV

normal AEAD algorithms that simply take the IPsec sequence number

The primary user of AEAD, IPsec includes the IV in the AD in
most cases, except where it is implicitly authenticated by the
underlying algorithm.
The way it is currently implemented is a hack because we pass
the data in piecemeal and the underlying algorithms try to stitch
them back up into one piece.
This is why this patch is adding a new interface that allows a
single SG list to be passed in that contains everything so the
algorithm implementors do not have to stitch.
The new interface accepts a single source SG list and a single
destination SG list. Both must be laid out as follows:
AD, skipped data, plain/cipher text, ICV
The ICV is not present from the source during encryption and from
the destination during decryption.
For the top-level IPsec AEAD algorithm the plain/cipher text will
contain the generated (or received) IV.
