Update code comment, self test & healthcheck to use HMAC SHA512,
instead of HMAC SHA256. These changes are in dead-code, or FIPS
enabled code-paths only and have not effect on usual kernel builds.
On systems booting in FIPS mode that has the effect of switch sanity
selftest to HMAC sha512 based (which has been the default DRBG).
This patch updates code from 9b7b94683a ("crypto: DRBG - switch to
HMAC SHA512 DRBG as default DRBG"), but is not interesting to
cherry-pick for stable updates, because it doesn't affect regular
builds, nor has any tangible effect on FIPS certifcation.

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.
