DM-Verity has an (undocumented) mode where no salt is used. This was
never handled directly by the DM-Verity code, instead working due to the
fact that calling crypto_shash_update() with a zero length data is an
implicit noop.
This is no longer the case now that we have switched to
crypto_ahash_update(). Fix the issue by introducing explicit handling
of the no salt use case to DM-Verity.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
