Right, this used to exist, but it didn't actually do anything, and it had
suffered heavily from bitrot.  For example, some callers specified MAY_SLEEP
when actually they couldn't sleep.  IIRC, some callers also didn't even bother
initializing the flags, so they were passing uninitialized memory.  So I removed
it in commit 877b5691f27a ("crypto: shash - remove shash_desc::flags").

Has there been any consideration of just adding the crypto_shash_update_large()
helper function that I had mentioned in the commit message of 877b5691f27a?
