[PATCH v2 0/4] smb: client: Use AES-CMAC library

This series updates the SMB client to use the AES-CMAC library functions
that were recently added, instead of a "cmac(aes)" crypto_shash.  As
usual, this simplifies the code considerably and is much more efficient.

These patches were originally sent as patches 8-11 of the series
https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]/
The only change from that version was adding tags and rebasing.
I also added some microbenchmark results below.

This is intended to be taken through the smb tree, either 7.1 or 7.2
depending on maintainer preference.

A few microbenchmarks that demonstrate improved performance:

 - Total cycles spent in generate_key() during SMB3 mount
   decreased from 20640 to 10780 (3 calls total).

 - Total cycles spent in smb3_calc_signature() during SMB3 mount
   decreased from 177620 to 73180 (32 calls & 4255 bytes total).

 - Total cycles spent in smb3_calc_signature() while writing 10MB file
   decreased from 27551180 to 26628360 (10 calls & 10001392 bytes total)

 - Total cycles spent in smb3_calc_signature() while reading 10MB file
   decreased from 28390900 to 27879340 (14 calls & 10001781 bytes total)

Note that my "before" numbers were taken from current mainline which has
my changes that made the "cmac(aes)" crypto_shash a bit faster as well.
So the speedup vs v7.0 is actually even greater.

  smb: client: Use AES-CMAC library for SMB3 signature calculation
  smb: client: Remove obsolete cmac(aes) allocation
  smb: client: Make generate_key() return void
  smb: client: Drop 'allocate_crypto' arg from smb*_calc_signature()
