Use skcipher_givcrypt_cast(crypto_dequeue_request(queue)) instead, which
does the same thing in much cleaner way. The skcipher_givcrypt_cast()
actually uses container_of() instead of messing around with offsetof()
too.

We lookup algorithms with crypto_alg_mod_lookup() when instantiating via
crypto_add_alg(). However, algorithms that are wrapped by an IV genearator
(e.g. aead or genicv type algorithms) need special care. The userspace
process hangs until it gets a timeout when we use crypto_alg_mod_lookup()
to lookup these algorithms. So export the lookup functions for these
algorithms and use them in crypto_add_alg().

As struct skcipher_givcrypt_request includes struct crypto_request
at a non-zero offset, testing for NULL after converting the pointer
returned by crypto_dequeue_request does not work. This can result
in IPsec crashes when the queue is depleted.
This patch fixes it by doing the pointer conversion only when the
return value is non-NULL. In particular, we create a new function
__crypto_dequeue_request that does the pointer conversion.

This patch moves the default IV generators into their own modules
in order to break a dependency loop between cryptomgr, rng, and
blkcipher.

The previous patch to move chainiv and eseqiv into blkcipher created
a section mismatch for the chainiv exit function which was also called
from __init. This patch removes the __exit marking on it.

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 chainiv avoid spinning by postponing requests on lock
contention if the user allows the use of asynchronous algorithms. If
a synchronous algorithm is requested then we behave as before.
This should improve IPsec performance on SMP when two CPUs attempt to
transmit over the same SA. Currently one of them will spin doing nothing
waiting for the other CPU to finish its encryption. This patch makes it
postpone the request and get on with other work.
If only one CPU is transmitting for a given SA, then we will process
the request synchronously as before.

This patch adds a null blkcipher algorithm called ecb(cipher_null) for
backwards compatibility. Previously the null algorithm when used by
IPsec copied the data byte by byte. This new algorithm optimises that
to a straight memcpy which lets us better measure inherent overheads in
our IPsec code.

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.

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.
