    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.

  • The generic crc32 implementation is currently called crc32. This
    is a problem because it clashes with the lib implementation of crc32.

    This patch renames the crypto crc32 to crc32_generic so that it is
    consistent with crc32c. An alias for the driver is also added.
