The "cpool_populated" variable is the number of elements in the cpool[]
array that have been populated. It is incremented in
tcp_sigpool_alloc_ahash() every time we populate a new element.
Unpopulated elements are NULL but if we have populated every element then
this code will read one element beyond the end of the array.

TCP-AO, similarly to TCP-MD5, needs to allocate tfms on a slow-path,
which is setsockopt() and use crypto ahash requests on fast paths,
which are RX/TX softirqs. Also, it needs a temporary/scratch buffer
for preparing the hash.
Rework tcp_md5sig_pool in order to support other hashing algorithms
than MD5. It will make it possible to share pre-allocated crypto_ahash
descriptors and scratch area between all TCP hash users.
Internally tcp_sigpool calls crypto_clone_ahash() API over pre-allocated
crypto ahash tfm. Kudos to Herbert, who provided this new crypto API.
I was a little concerned over GFP_ATOMIC allocations of ahash and
crypto_request in RX/TX (see tcp_sigpool_start()), so I benchmarked both
"backends" with different algorithms, using patched version of iperf3[2].
On my laptop with i7-7600U @ 2.80GHz:
clone-tfm per-CPU-requests
TCP-MD5 2.25 Gbits/sec 2.30 Gbits/sec
TCP-AO(hmac(sha1)) 2.53 Gbits/sec 2.54 Gbits/sec
TCP-AO(hmac(sha512)) 1.67 Gbits/sec 1.64 Gbits/sec
TCP-AO(hmac(sha384)) 1.77 Gbits/sec 1.80 Gbits/sec
TCP-AO(hmac(sha224)) 1.29 Gbits/sec 1.30 Gbits/sec
TCP-AO(hmac(sha3-512)) 481 Mbits/sec 480 Mbits/sec
TCP-AO(hmac(md5)) 2.07 Gbits/sec 2.12 Gbits/sec
TCP-AO(hmac(rmd160)) 1.01 Gbits/sec 995 Mbits/sec
TCP-AO(cmac(aes128)) [not supporetd yet] 2.11 Gbits/sec
So, it seems that my concerns don't have strong grounds and per-CPU
crypto_request allocation can be dropped/removed from tcp_sigpool once
ciphers get crypto_clone_ahash() support.
