[PATCH] crypto: s390/sha - Fix uninitialized variable in SHA-1 and SHA-2

Commit 88c02b3f79a6 ("s390/sha3: Support sha3 performance enhancements")
added the field s390_sha_ctx::first_message_part and made it be used by
s390_sha_update_blocks(). At the time, s390_sha_update_blocks() was
used by all the s390 SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3 algorithms. However, only
the initialization functions for SHA-3 were updated, leaving SHA-1 and
SHA-2 using first_message_part uninitialized.

This could cause e.g. CPACF_KIMD_SHA_512 | CPACF_KIMD_NIP to be used
instead of just CPACF_KIMD_NIP. It's unclear why this didn't cause a
problem earlier; this bug was found only when UBSAN detected the
uninitialized boolean. Perhaps the CPU ignores CPACF_KIMD_NIP for SHA-1
and SHA-2. Regardless, let's fix this. For now just initialize to
false, i.e. don't try to "optimize" the SHA state initialization.

Note: in 6.16, we need to patch SHA-1, SHA-384, and SHA-512. In 6.15
and earlier, we'll also need to patch SHA-224 and SHA-256, as they
hadn't yet been librarified (which incidentally fixed this bug).

This is targeting 6.16. I'd prefer to take this through
libcrypto-fixes, since the librarification work is also touching this
area. But let me know if there's a preference for the crypto tree or
the s390 tree instead.
