      crypto: run initcalls for generic implementations earlier · c4741b23
      Eric Biggers authored
      
      Use subsys_initcall for registration of all templates and generic
      algorithm implementations, rather than module_init.  Then change
      cryptomgr to use arch_initcall, to place it before the subsys_initcalls.
      
      This is needed so that when both a generic and optimized implementation
      of an algorithm are built into the kernel (not loadable modules), the
      generic implementation is registered before the optimized one.
      Otherwise, the self-tests for the optimized implementation are unable to
      allocate the generic implementation for the new comparison fuzz tests.
      
      Note that on arm, a side effect of this change is that self-tests for
      generic implementations may run before the unaligned access handler has
      been installed.  So, unaligned accesses will crash the kernel.  This is
      arguably a good thing as it makes it easier to detect that type of bug.
