Now that fscrypt's incomplete support for non-inline crypto engines has
been removed, and none of the CPU-based algorithms have the
CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC flag set anymore, there is no need to accommodate
asynchronous algorithms. Therefore, explicitly allocate only
synchronous algorithms. Then, remove the code that handled waiting for
asynchronous en/decryption operations to complete.
This commit should *not* be backported to kernels that lack commit
0ba6ec5b29 ("crypto: x86/aes - stop using the SIMD helper"), as then
it would disable the use of the optimized AES code on x86.

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 reStructuredText 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.
