If the underlying algorithm specifies a specific geniv algorithm then
we should use it for the cryptd version as well.

Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as
type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set. This is suboptimal because
ablkcipher refers to two things. On the one hand it refers to the
top-level ablkcipher interface with requests. On the other hand it
refers to and algorithm type underneath.
As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm
with the ablkcipher interface on top. This is a problem because
we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level
interface.
This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as
we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST. The type it associated
with the algorithm implementation only.
Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is
then determined by the mask that's used. If it's a specific mask
then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the
new ablkcipher interface.

Since not everyone needs a queue pointer and those who need it can
always get it from the context anyway the queue pointer in the
common alg object is redundant.

Make sure that cryptd is marked as nonfreezable and does not hold up the
freezer.

This patch adds the cryptd module which is a template that takes a
synchronous software crypto algorithm and converts it to an asynchronous
one by executing it in a kernel thread.
