This series is targeting net-next because it depends on
"net/tcp: Remove tcp_sigpool".  So far no commits in cryptodev conflict
with this, so I suggest that this be taken through net-next for 7.2.

This series removes support for transformation cloning from the crypto
API.  Now that the TCP-AO and TCP-MD5 code no longer uses it, it no
longer has a user.  And it's unlikely that a new one will appear, as the
library API solves the problem in a much simpler and more efficient way.

This feature also regressed performance for all crypto API users, since
it changed crypto transformation objects into reference-counted objects.
That added expensive atomic operations.  The refcount is reverted by
this series, thus fixing the performance regression.

A subset of this was previously sent in
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260307224341.5644-1-ebiggers@kernel.org
Compared to that version, this version is a bit more comprehensive.

Eric Biggers (6):
  crypto: hash - Remove support for cloning hash tfms
  crypto: cipher - Remove crypto_clone_cipher()
  crypto: api - Remove crypto_clone_tfm()
  crypto: api - Remove per-tfm refcount
  crypto: api - Fold __crypto_alloc_tfmgfp() into __crypto_alloc_tfm()
  crypto: api - Fold crypto_alloc_tfmmem() into crypto_create_tfm_node()
