This patch removes all traces of the crypto_hash interface, now
that everyone has switched over to shash or ahash.

Now that the AEAD conversion is complete we can rip out the old
AEAD interafce and associated code.

As the AEAD conversion is still ongoing, we do not yet wish to
export legacy AEAD implementations to user-space, as their calling
convention will change.
This patch actually disables all AEAD algorithms because some of
them (e.g., cryptd) will need to be modified to propagate this flag.
Subsequent patches will reenable them on an individual basis.

The struct crypto_alg is embedded into various type-specific structs
such as aead_alg. This is then used as part of instances such as
struct aead_instance. It is also embedded into the generic struct
crypto_instance. In order to ensure that struct aead_instance can
be converted to struct crypto_instance when necessary, we need to
ensure that crypto_alg is aligned properly.
This patch adds an alignment attribute to struct crypto_alg to
ensure this.

It is because the file is generated from comments in sources,

This patch is the first step in the introduction of a new AEAD
alg type. Unlike normal conversions this patch only renames the
existing aead_alg structure because there are external references
to it.
Those references will be removed after this patch.

This patch converts the top-level aead interface to the new style.
All user-level AEAD interface code have been moved into crypto/aead.h.
The allocation/free functions have switched over to the new way of
allocating tfms.
This patch also removes the double indrection on setkey so the
indirection now exists only at the alg level.
Apart from these there are no user-visible changes.

Now that all rng implementations have switched over to the new

This patch converts the low-level crypto_rng interface to the
"new" style.
This allows existing implementations to be converted over one-
by-one. Once that is complete we can then remove the old rng
interface.

This patch converts the top-level crypto_rng to the "new" style.
It was the last algorithm type added before we switched over
to the new way of doing things exemplified by shash.
All users will automatically switch over to the new interface.
Note that this patch does not touch the low-level interface to
rng implementations.

Several hardware related cipher implementations are implemented as
follows: a "helper" cipher implementation is registered with the
kernel crypto API.
Such helper ciphers are never intended to be called by normal users. In
some cases, calling them via the normal crypto API may even cause
failures including kernel crashes. In a normal case, the "wrapping"
ciphers that use the helpers ensure that these helpers are invoked
such that they cannot cause any calamity.
Considering the AF_ALG user space interface, unprivileged users can
call all ciphers registered with the crypto API, including these
helper ciphers that are not intended to be called directly. That
means, with AF_ALG user space may invoke these helper ciphers
and may cause undefined states or side effects.
To avoid any potential side effects with such helpers, the patch
prevents the helpers to be called directly. A new cipher type
flag is added: CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL. This flag shall be used
to mark helper ciphers. These ciphers can only be used if the
caller invoke the cipher with CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL in the type and
mask field.

The AEAD decryption operation requires the authentication tag to be
present as part of the cipher text buffer. The added check verifies that
the caller provides a cipher text with at least the authentication tag.
