FYI, I've applied this series to
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux.git/log/?h=libcrypto-next
so that it gets linux-next coverage.

As mentioned, it depends on the SHA-256 and SHA-512 improvements in
lib/crypto/.  But Linus has also expressed a preference to not put too
much in one pull request.

My current plan is to do 3 pull requests:

    1. "Crypto library updates" - most patches, mainly SHA-256 and
       SHA-512 library improvements

    2. "Crypto library tests" - based on (1) but adds:
        lib/crypto: tests: Add hash-test-template.h and gen-hash-testvecs.py
        lib/crypto: tests: Add KUnit tests for SHA-224 and SHA-256
        lib/crypto: tests: Add KUnit tests for SHA-384 and SHA-512
        lib/crypto: tests: Add KUnit tests for Poly1305

    3. "Crypto library conversions" - based on (1) but adds:
        apparmor: use SHA-256 library API instead of crypto_shash API
        fsverity: Explicitly include <linux/export.h>
        fsverity: Switch from crypto_shash to SHA-2 library

I'll put all of these in libcrypto-next for linux-next coverage, but (3)
will have a slightly different base commit in the final version.
