This set fixes the issues related with the dm-crypt + QAT driver
use-case.

The first patch fixes a potential dead-lock that might occur when using
dm-crypt + QAT in out of memory conditions. The datapaths of the aead
and skcipher implementations have been changed to use pre-allocated
buffers that are part of the request contexts.
The also removes the CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY flag from the aead and
skcipher implementations.

The second patch refactors the submission logic in preparation for the
introduction of a backlog queue to handle crypto requests with the
CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG flag set.

The third patch addresses a stall in the dm-crypt + QAT usecase by
adding support for the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG flag. If the HW queue
is full, the driver enqueues the request in a list and resubmit it at
a later time, avoiding losing it.

The last, re-enables the crypto instances in the QAT driver which were
disabled due to the issues above.

Changes from v1:
 - Patch #3: removed worqueues. Requests in the backlog queue are now
   resubmitted in the context of the callback of a previously submitted
   request. This reduces the CPU utilization as the resubmit backlog
   function always finds a free slot in the HW queues when resubmits a
   job.

Giovanni Cabiddu (4):
  crypto: qat - use pre-allocated buffers in datapath
  crypto: qat - refactor submission logic
  crypto: qat - add backlog mechanism
  crypto: qat - re-enable registration of algorithms
