can easily access the request context instead of using something

crypto: cryptd - Protect per-CPU resource by disabling BH.

The access to cryptd_queue::cpu_queue is synchronized by disabling
preemption in cryptd_enqueue_request() and disabling BH in
cryptd_queue_worker(). This implies that access is allowed from BH.

If cryptd_enqueue_request() is invoked from preemptible context _and_
soft interrupt then this can lead to list corruption since
cryptd_enqueue_request() is not protected against access from
soft interrupt.

Replace get_cpu() in cryptd_enqueue_request() with local_bh_disable()
to ensure BH is always disabled.
Remove preempt_disable() from cryptd_queue_worker() since it is not
needed because local_bh_disable() ensures synchronisation.

crypto: algapi - use common mechanism for inheriting flags

The flag CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC is "inherited" in the sense that when a
template is instantiated, the template will have CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC set if
any of the algorithms it uses has CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC set.

We'd like to add a second flag (CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY) that gets
"inherited" in the same way. This is difficult because the handling of
CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC is hardcoded everywhere. Address this by:

- Add CRYPTO_ALG_INHERITED_FLAGS, which contains the set of flags that
have these inheritance semantics.

- Add crypto_algt_inherited_mask(), for use by template ->create()
methods. It returns any of these flags that the user asked to be
unset and thus must be passed in the 'mask' to crypto_grab_*().

- Also modify crypto_check_attr_type() to handle computing the 'mask'
so that most templates can just use this.

- Make crypto_grab_*() propagate these flags to the template instance
being created so that templates don't have to do this themselves.

Make crypto/simd.c propagate these flags too, since it "wraps" another
algorithm, similar to a template.

crypto: remove propagation of CRYPTO_TFM_RES_* flags

The CRYPTO_TFM_RES_* flags were apparently meant as a way to make the
->setkey() functions provide more information about errors. But these
flags weren't actually being used or tested, and in many cases they
weren't being set correctly anyway. So they've now been removed.

Also, if someone ever actually needs to start better distinguishing
->setkey() errors (which is somewhat unlikely, as this has been unneeded
for a long time), we'd be much better off just defining different return
values, like -EINVAL if the key is invalid for the algorithm vs.
-EKEYREJECTED if the key was rejected by a policy like "no weak keys".
That would be much simpler, less error-prone, and easier to test.

So just remove CRYPTO_TFM_RES_MASK and all the unneeded logic that
propagates these flags around.

crypto: skcipher - remove the "blkcipher" algorithm type

Now that all "blkcipher" algorithms have been converted to "skcipher",
remove the blkcipher algorithm type.

The skcipher (symmetric key cipher) algorithm type was introduced a few
years ago to replace both blkcipher and ablkcipher (synchronous and
asynchronous block cipher). The advantages of skcipher include:

- A much less confusing name, since none of these algorithm types have
ever actually been for raw block ciphers, but rather for all
length-preserving encryption modes including block cipher modes of
operation, stream ciphers, and other length-preserving modes.

- It unified blkcipher and ablkcipher into a single algorithm type
which supports both synchronous and asynchronous implementations.
Note, blkcipher already operated only on scatterlists, so the fact
that skcipher does too isn't a regression in functionality.

- Better type safety by using struct skcipher_alg, struct
crypto_skcipher, etc. instead of crypto_alg, crypto_tfm, etc.

- It sometimes simplifies the implementations of algorithms.

Also, the blkcipher API was no longer being tested.

With this being the case, inevitably some users who can't sleep wrongly
pass MAY_SLEEP. These would all need to be fixed if any shash algorithm
actually started sleeping. For example, the shash_ahash_*() functions,
which wrap a shash algorithm with the ahash API, pass through MAY_SLEEP
from the ahash API to the shash API. However, the shash functions are
called under kmap_atomic(), so actually they're assumed to never sleep.

Even if it turns out that some users do need preemption points while
hashing large buffers, we could easily provide a helper function
crypto_shash_update_large() which divides the data into smaller chunks
and calls crypto_shash_update() and cond_resched() for each chunk. It's
not necessary to have a flag in 'struct shash_desc', nor is it necessary
to make individual shash algorithms aware of this at all.

Therefore, remove shash_desc::flags, and document that the
crypto_shash_*() functions can be called from any context.

crypto: cryptd - remove ability to instantiate ablkciphers

Remove cryptd_alloc_ablkcipher() and the ability of cryptd to create
algorithms with the deprecated "ablkcipher" type.

This has been unused since commit 0e145b477dea ("crypto: ablk_helper -
remove ablk_helper"). Instead, cryptd_alloc_skcipher() is used.
