H A Dinternal.hadad556e Thu Sep 16 19:26:19 CDT 2021 Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> crypto: api - Fix built-in testing dependency failures

When complex algorithms that depend on other algorithms are built
into the kernel, the order of registration must be done such that
the underlying algorithms are ready before the ones on top are
registered. As otherwise they would fail during the self-test
which is required during registration.

In the past we have used subsystem initialisation ordering to
guarantee this. The number of such precedence levels are limited
and they may cause ripple effects in other subsystems.

This patch solves this problem by delaying all self-tests during
boot-up for built-in algorithms. They will be tested either when
something else in the kernel requests for them, or when we have
finished registering all built-in algorithms, whichever comes
earlier.
