crypto: skcipher - Add ablkcipher_walk interfaces
These are akin to the blkcipher_walk helpers.
The main differences in the async variant are:
1) Only physical walking is supported. We can't hold on to
kmap mappings across the async operation to support virtual
ablkcipher_walk operations anyways.
2) Bounce buffers used for async more need to be persistent and
freed at a later point in time when the async op completes.
Therefore we maintain a list of writeback buffers and require
that the ablkcipher_walk user call the 'complete' operation
so we can copy the bounce buffers out to the real buffers and
free up the bounce buffer chunks.
These interfaces will be used by the new Niagara2 crypto driver.
