crypto: testmgr - WARN on test failure
Currently, by default crypto self-test failures only result in a pr_warn() message and an "unknown" status in /proc/crypto. Both of these are easy to miss. There is also an option to panic the kernel when a test fails, but that can't be the default behavior. A crypto self-test failure always indicates a kernel bug, however, and there's already a standard way to report (recoverable) kernel bugs -- the WARN() family of macros. WARNs are noisier and harder to miss, and existing test systems already know to look for them in dmesg or via /proc/sys/kernel/tainted. Therefore, call WARN() when an algorithm fails its self-tests.
