Herbert Xu adad556efc crypto: api - Fix built-in testing dependency failures
When complex algorithms that depend on other algorithms are built
into the kernel, the order of registration must be done such that
the underlying algorithms are ready before the ones on top are
registered.  As otherwise they would fail during the self-test
which is required during registration.

In the past we have used subsystem initialisation ordering to
guarantee this.  The number of such precedence levels are limited
and they may cause ripple effects in other subsystems.

This patch solves this problem by delaying all self-tests during
boot-up for built-in algorithms.  They will be tested either when
something else in the kernel requests for them, or when we have
finished registering all built-in algorithms, whichever comes
earlier.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
