[PATCH 1/8] crypto: add flag for algos that need DMA aligned context buffers

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>]

On architectures that support non-coherent DMA, we align and round up
all dynamically allocated request and TFM structures to the worst case
DMA alignment, which is 128 bytes on arm64, even though most systems
only have 64 byte cachelines, are cache coherent for DMA, don't use
use accelerators for crypto, or the driver for the accelerator does not
DMA into the request context buffer to begin with.

We can relax this requirement, by only performing this rounding for
algorithms that are backed by an implementation that actually requires
it. So introduce CRYPTO_ALG_NEED_DMA_ALIGNMENT for this purpose, which
will be wired up in subsequent patches.
