[RFC v7.1] crypto: akcipher - default implementations for request callbacks

[Vitaly Chikunov]

Herbert,

This is reworked version of "[PATCH v7 02/11] crypto: akcipher - check the
presence of callback before the call".

All checks inside of akcipher wrappers for the callbacks handling
akcipher_requests are removed and replaced with default akcipher_default_op()
callback.

Checks in crypto_akcipher_maxsize() are just removed altogether without any
replacement, because this callback is always defined.

Also, sanity checks for (!req->dst && req->dst_len) which was introduced in
"[PATCH v7 04/11] crypto: akcipher - new verify API for public key algorithms"
are removed, assuming this should be checked in the drivers if needed.

Commit "PATCH v7 01/11] KEYS: report to keyctl only actually supported key ops"
is also will be removed in the next patchset, as you agreed.

Thanks,

--- commit ---

Because with the introduction of EC-RDSA and change in workings of RSA
in regard to sign/verify, akcipher could have not all callbacks defined,
check the presence of callbacks in crypto_register_akcipher() and
provide default implementation if the callback is not implemented.

This is suggested by Herbert Xu instead of checking the presence of the
callback on every request.
