3.2.102-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Biggers <ebigg...@google.com>
commit a208fa8f33031b9e0aba44c7d1b7e68eb0cbd29e upstream.
We need to consistently enforce that keyed hashes cannot be used without
setting the key. To do this we need a reliable way to determine whether
a given hash algorithm is keyed or not. AF_ALG currently does this by
checking for the presence of a ->setkey() method. However, this is
actually slightly broken because the CRC-32 algorithms implement
->setkey() but can also be used without a key. (The CRC-32 "key" is not
actually a cryptographic key but rather represents the initial state.
If not overridden, then a default initial state is used.)
Prepare to fix this by introducing a flag CRYPTO_ALG_OPTIONAL_KEY which
indicates that the algorithm has a ->setkey() method, but it is not
required to be called. Then set it on all the CRC-32 algorithms.
The same also applies to the Adler-32 implementation in Lustre.
Also, the cryptd and mcryptd templates have to pass through the flag
from their underlying algorithm.

- Drop changes to nonexistent drivers
- There's no CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL flag
- Adjust filenames]
