Now that all templates provide a -&gt;create() method which creates an
instance, installs a strongly-typed -&gt;free() method directly to it, and
registers it, the older -&gt;alloc() and -&gt;free() methods in
'struct crypto_template' are no longer used.  Remove them.

Now that crypto_init_spawn() is only called by crypto_grab_spawn(),
simplify things by moving its functionality into crypto_grab_spawn().

In the process of doing this, also be more consistent about when the
spawn and instance are updated, and remove the crypto_spawn::dropref
flag since now it's always set.

Remove lots of helper functions that were previously used for
instantiating crypto templates, but are now unused:

- crypto_get_attr_alg() and similar functions looked up an inner
  algorithm directly from a template parameter.  These were replaced
  with getting the algorithm's name, then calling crypto_grab_*().

- crypto_init_spawn2() and similar functions initialized a spawn, given
  an algorithm.  Similarly, these were replaced with crypto_grab_*().

- crypto_alloc_instance() and similar functions allocated an instance
  with a single spawn, given the inner algorithm.  These aren't useful
  anymore since crypto_grab_*() need the instance allocated first.

<title>crypto: algapi - pass instance to crypto_grab_spawn()</title>

Currently, crypto_spawn::inst is first used temporarily to pass the
instance to crypto_grab_spawn().  Then crypto_init_spawn() overwrites it
with crypto_spawn::next, which shares the same union.  Finally,
crypto_spawn::inst is set again when the instance is registered.

Make this less convoluted by just passing the instance as an argument to
crypto_grab_spawn() instead.

<content type='text'>
To allow further simplifying template -&gt;create() functions, make
crypto_grab_spawn() handle an ERR_PTR() name by passing back the error.

For most templates, this will allow the result of crypto_attr_alg_name()
to be passed directly to crypto_grab_*(), rather than first having to
assign it to a variable [where it can then potentially be misused, as it
was in the rfc7539 template prior to commit 5e27f38f1f3f ("crypto:
chacha20poly1305 - set cra_name correctly")] and check it for error.

<title>crypto: algapi - make crypto_drop_spawn() a no-op on uninitialized spawns</title>

<content type='text'>
Make crypto_drop_spawn() do nothing when the spawn hasn't been
initialized with an algorithm yet.  This will allow simplifying error
handling in all the template -&gt;create() functions, since on error they
will be able to just call their usual "free instance" function, rather
than having to handle dropping just the spawns that have been
initialized so far.

This does assume the spawn starts out zero-filled, but that's always the
case since instances are allocated with kzalloc().  And some other code
already assumes this anyway.

<title>crypto: api - Retain alg refcount in crypto_grab_spawn</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5f567fffaae995dce3498e175e47d5a779fb0270</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch changes crypto_grab_spawn to retain the reference count
on the algorithm.  This is because the caller needs to access the
algorithm parameters and without the reference count the algorithm
can be freed at any time.

The reference count will be subsequently dropped by the crypto API
once the instance has been registered.  The helper crypto_drop_spawn
will also conditionally drop the reference count depending on whether
it has been registered.

Note that the code is actually added to crypto_init_spawn.  However,
unless the caller activates this by setting spawn-&gt;dropref beforehand
then nothing happens.  The only caller that sets dropref is currently
crypto_grab_spawn.

Once all legacy users of crypto_init_spawn disappear, then we can
kill the dropref flag.

Internally each instance will maintain a list of its spawns prior
to registration.  This memory used by this list is shared with
other fields that are only used after registration.  In order for
this to work a new flag spawn-&gt;registered is added to indicate
whether spawn-&gt;inst can be used.

<title>crypto: algapi - make unregistration functions return void</title>

<content type='text'>
Some of the algorithm unregistration functions return -ENOENT when asked
to unregister a non-registered algorithm, while others always return 0
or always return void.  But no users check the return value, except for
two of the bulk unregistration functions which print a message on error
but still always return 0 to their caller, and crypto_del_alg() which
calls crypto_unregister_instance() which always returns 0.

Since unregistering a non-registered algorithm is always a kernel bug
but there isn't anything callers should do to handle this situation at
runtime, let's simplify things by making all the unregistration
functions return void, and moving the error message into
crypto_unregister_alg() and upgrading it to a WARN().

<title>crypto: api - fix unexpectedly getting generic implementation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2bbb3375d967155bccc86a5887d4a6e29c56b683</id>
<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS=y, the first lookup of an
algorithm that needs to be instantiated using a template will always get
the generic implementation, even when an accelerated one is available.

This happens because the extra self-tests for the accelerated
implementation allocate the generic implementation for comparison
purposes, and then crypto_alg_tested() for the generic implementation
"fulfills" the original request (i.e. sets crypto_larval::adult).

This patch fixes this by only fulfilling the original request if
we are currently the best outstanding larval as judged by the
priority.  If we're not the best then we will ask all waiters on
that larval request to retry the lookup.

Note that this patch introduces a behaviour change when the module
providing the new algorithm is unregistered during the process.
Previously we would have failed with ENOENT, after the patch we
will instead redo the lookup.
