Since libfsverity and some other code would break if 0 is ever allocated
as an FS_VERITY_HASH_ALG_* value, make fsverity_check_hash_algs()
explicitly check that there is no algorithm 0.

The "ahash" API, like the other scatterlist-based crypto APIs such as
"skcipher", comes with some well-known limitations. First, it can't
easily be used with vmalloc addresses. Second, the request struct can't
be allocated on the stack. This adds complexity and a possible failure
point that needs to be worked around, e.g. using a mempool.
The only benefit of ahash over "shash" is that ahash is needed to access
traditional memory-to-memory crypto accelerators, i.e. drivers/crypto/.
However, this style of crypto acceleration has largely fallen out of
favor and been superseded by CPU-based acceleration or inline crypto
engines. Also, ahash needs to be used asynchronously to take full
advantage of such hardware, but fs/verity/ has never done this.
On all systems that aren't actually using one of these ahash-only crypto
accelerators, ahash just adds unnecessary overhead as it sits between
the user and the underlying shash algorithms.
Also, XFS is planned to cache fsverity Merkle tree blocks in the
existing XFS buffer cache. As a result, it will be possible for a
single Merkle tree block to be split across discontiguous pages
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230405233753.GU3223426@dread.disaster.area).
This data will need to be hashed. It is easiest to work with a vmapped
address in this case. However, ahash is incompatible with this.
Therefore, let's convert fs/verity/ from ahash to shash. This
simplifies the code, and it should also slightly improve performance for
everyone who wasn't actually using one of these ahash-only crypto
accelerators, i.e. almost everyone (or maybe even everyone)!

In preparation for allowing the Merkle tree block size to differ from
PAGE_SIZE, replace fsverity_hash_page() with fsverity_hash_block(). The
new function is similar to the old one, but it operates on the block at
the given offset in the page instead of on the full page.
(For now, all callers still pass a full page.)

Instead of looking up the algorithm by name in hash_algo_name[] to get
its hash_algo ID, just store the hash_algo ID in the fsverity_hash_alg
struct. Verify at boot time that every fsverity_hash_alg has a valid
hash_algo ID with matching digest size.
Remove an unnecessary memset() of the whole digest array to 0 before the
digest is copied into it.
Finally, remove the pr_debug statement. There is already a pr_debug for
the fsverity digest when the file is opened.

Embedding the file path inside kernel source code files isn't
particularly useful as often files are moved around and the paths become
incorrect. checkpatch.pl warns about this since v5.10-rc1.

When initializing an fs-verity hash algorithm, also initialize a mempool
that contains a single preallocated hash request object. Then replace
the direct calls to ahash_request_alloc() and ahash_request_free() with
allocating and freeing from this mempool.
This eliminates the possibility of the allocation failing, which is
desirable for the I/O path.
This doesn't cause deadlocks because there's no case where multiple hash
requests are needed at a time to make forward progress.

Add SHA-512 support to fs-verity. This is primarily a demonstration of
the trivial changes needed to support a new hash algorithm in fs-verity;
most users will still use SHA-256, due to the smaller space required to
store the hashes. But some users may prefer SHA-512.

Add the beginnings of the fs/verity/ support layer, including the
Kconfig option and various helper functions for hashing. To start, only
SHA-256 is supported, but other hash algorithms can easily be added.
