Many users of kernel async. crypto services have a pattern of
starting an async. crypto op and than using a completion
to wait for it to end, resulting of the same code repeating
itself in multiple places, sometime with errors.

This patch aims to introduce a generic "wait for async. 
crypto op to complete" functions and move all the users
I could find to use it.  This gets rid of almost 300 
lines of code and fixes at least one bug (hopefully
without adding new ones).

In some cases (indicated in the specific patch description)
the move to the generic function changes the semantics
slightly (such as dropping interruptible when waiting).
I am especially interested in feedback whether people
think this is OK or I should an interruptible variant.

The patch set was boot tested on x86_64 and arm64 which
at the very least tests the crypto users via testmgr
but I am less confident regarding some of the other
users and would love feedback.
