[PATCH] crypto: Drop unused cipher_null crypto_alg

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>]

The cipher_null crypto_alg cipher is never used in a meaningful way,
given that it is always wrapped in ecb(), which has its own dedicated
implementation. IOW, the cipher_null crypto_alg should never be used to
implement the ecb(cipher_null) skcipher, and using it for other things
is bogus.

However, it is accessible from user space, and due to the nature of the
AF_ALG interface, it may be wrapped in arbitrary ways, exposing issues
in template code that wasn't written with block ciphers with a block
size of '1' in mind.

So drop this code.
