crypto: nx - Fix reentrancy bugs
This patch fixes a host of reentrancy bugs in the nx driver. The
following algorithms are affected:
* CCM
* GCM
* CTR
* XCBC
* SHA256
* SHA512
The crypto API allows a single transform to be used by multiple
threads simultaneously. For example, IPsec will use a single tfm
to process packets for a given SA. As packets may arrive on
multiple CPUs that tfm must be reentrant.
The nx driver does try to deal with this by using a spin lock.
Unfortunately only the basic AES/CBC/ECB algorithms do this in
the correct way.
The symptom of these bugs may range from the generation of incorrect
output to memory corruption.
