crypto: mcryptd - Check mcryptd algorithm compatibility
Algorithms not compatible with mcryptd could be spawned by mcryptd with a direct crypto_alloc_tfm invocation using a "mcryptd(alg)" name construct. This causes mcryptd to crash the kernel if an arbitrary "alg" is incompatible and not intended to be used with mcryptd. It is an issue if AF_ALG tries to spawn mcryptd(alg) to expose it externally. But such algorithms must be used internally and not be exposed. We added a check to enforce that only internal algorithms are allowed with mcryptd at the time mcryptd is spawning an algorithm.
