Change the crypto 842 compression alg to use the software 842 compression
and decompression library. Add the crypto driver_name as "842-generic".
Remove the fallback to LZO compression.
Previously, this crypto compression alg attemped 842 compression using
PowerPC hardware, and fell back to LZO compression and decompression if
the 842 PowerPC hardware was unavailable or failed. This should not
fall back to any other compression method, however; users of this crypto
compression alg can fallback if desired, and transparent fallback tricks
callers into thinking they are getting 842 compression when they actually
get LZO compression - the failure of the 842 hardware should not be
transparent to the caller.
The crypto compression alg for a hardware device also should not be located
in crypto/ so this is now a software-only implementation that uses the 842
software compression/decompression library.

This prefixes all crypto module loading with "crypto-" so we never run
the risk of exposing module auto-loading to userspace via a crypto API,
as demonstrated by Mathias Krause:

.cra_list initialization is unneeded and have been removed from all other
crypto modules except 842.

This patch add the 842 cryptographic API driver that
submits compression requests to the 842 hardware compression
accelerator driver (nx-compress).
If the hardware accelerator goes offline for any reason
(dynamic disable, migration, etc...), this driver will use LZO
as a software failover for all future compression requests.
For decompression requests, the 842 hardware driver contains
a software implementation of the 842 decompressor to support
the decompression of data that was compressed before the accelerator
went offline.
